Want to send e-mail but haven’t got a computer? BT has an answer for Britain.
This month, the firm will launch a keyboard and phone with LCD display that lets
people send and receive e-mail. The Easicom 1000 costs £180, and has an
LCD screen and small Qwerty keyboard. Owners get five e-mail addresses without
subscribing to an Internet service. Instead, they pay 25p per minute to connect.
If messages are prepared, it takes around 30 seconds to send and receive a
couple of messages. The unit also works as an ordinary phone with calls charged
at normal rates.
