I4U News - New Philips 759 and 755 Phones with Snap, Tag & Send

Now this is a good idea for a phone, I think. At least, the design of it is to make adding comments to pictures easy, and that's the good idea. Having a stylus to loose probably isn't so good. And if it's pressure sensitive, I would think it would be prone to scratches... especially since it doesn't appear to have a cover.

Now, does it have handwriting recognition? That would help, too, for just sending text messages. Of course, you could always just send the message as a graphic, too.

I wonder when phones start coming around with better speech recognition to be able to send text messages with speech. Already some handsets have very good digit dial recognition (you fluidly say your number -- "4085551212" not "4"-"0"-"8" ... etc.) Of course, you can just record a voice not and MMS it... a slight twist on "voice mail".
