Till now all these days in your smartphone you saw Qwerty key pads like the blackberry style, but now there are new mobile handsets which are coming in Alpha keypads What I mean to say is the ABCDEF ones. If you're still wondering what an Alpha keypad is, it's just your normal keypad with the alphabets arranged alphabetically (A-Z)

 

What makes these phones unique, however, are the keypads. While these may look like a phone sporting QWERTY keypads upon a closer glance, you'd notice that the QWERTY keypads are actually ABCDEF ones. That's right! These might be one of the rare phones out there to come with an Alpha keypad. If you're still wondering what an Alpha keypad is, it's just your normal keypad with the alphabets arranged alphabetically (A-Z).

While adopting this new standard might be quite weird for folks who have grown up using QWERTY keypads, the company says this is for people who have never used a PC and would find it easier to type using an alpha keyboard.

Will people be able to adopt this new type of keypads on smartphones??

I think it will be very easy for them as many would be going for a smartphone from a normal phone which will be having a normal ABCDEF format of keypads, and getting updated to a similar thing on new smartphones will be easier, I mean the switch will be easier. Also it will be easy for people who haven't used PC anytime and are using these type of mobile phones for the first time, it will be a lot easier, and there is a huge market out there which is to be still tapped........so yes these Alpha keypads are a great addition to the mobile phones...

Yes, you are right Sonal. It is a good addition but still the choice matters as it may be different from person to person.
