The biggest problem that the English language (and several other languages) is facing is the slow degradation of the average teenager’s ability to write properly. Grammar is one of the most important communication skills and it is one aspect where a lot of people are failing. The presence of message sending features on mobile phones is not helping curb this problem. By delivering a mobile device with a good usable keyboard, Samsung is slowly taking steps to do something about this.
Keyboards and Literacy
The intrinsic feature of mobile phones is that they used to rely on alphanumeric keypads that had ten digits from zero to nine with all twenty six letters of the alphabet accessed through repeated button presses. This made typing harder as some letter took several button taps to type, in turn; some words were harder to spell altogether.
What the Genio TXT Can Do
The Samsung Genio TXT helps eliminate the need for repeated button tapping thanks to the presence of a full QWERTY keyboard. This makes all letters instantly easy to type; the fact that it is on the face of the phone and not a slide out means that people will have to use the keyboard when making messages. Since each button will only need one button press to access; hopefully, this will encourage people to type words properly instead of truncating them. There is no way to know if this step is too late since a lot of people carry this disambiguated version of language even when they are already using desktop computers with keyboards.
The Genio TXT Specs
If you cannot appreciate the Genio TXT, for its messaging features, then its 3.5mm audio jack, 2 mega pixel camera and other features will not prove to be anything impressive either. You might want to consider getting a different mobile phone for the same price.
