ATW options - does it exist ?

50Twuncle

I work part time and 2 years ago - was given a special seat by ATW - I have requested a reassessment to see if ATW can provide me with a small handheld device to act as a memory aid - it must be fast booting and rechargeable battery powered..
It needs to have a normal keyboard - not touch screen and a small display screen - I am not looking for a communications device - just something that I can use like an electronic pen and paper....

Does such a device exist ?

You are going to struggle to find something with a keyboard which is small and fast booting.

Are you unable to use a pen and paper?

No - my hands don't do what my brain tells them to do !!

You don't need something fast booting.
Something that suspends will do just fine.
If your hands won't do what you tell them - can you actually deal with a small keyboard?

Yes - I have a Samsung note phone and in the past have used a Nokia E90 phone - with a tiny "real" keyboard
My Samsung has not got a good enough battery life to leave on 24/7 either - and about 30 secs boot time is too long.
My problem is the actual process of writing legibly (no feedback to the brain)
What I need is something that I can grab and use within seconds

You don't need it on 24/7, as soon as you finish work it can go back on charge again?

You can get a high capacity battery for the Note - I have one for the S2 and the extended use you get from it is very impressive. Amazon do them for less than £10.

Thanks - Whilst I can use the Note keypad - I prefer a proper keyboard !!!
