The micro keyboard lets you write and send Instant messages and e-mails on the fly. It's perfect for anyone where staying in touch is a must and it's also a great way for families to keep tabs on one another without buying additional cell phones.

In about five minutes you can master the roller and keyboard that allows you to navigate the pager-sized device. There are also several different alerts that let you know when someone is trying to get a hold of you and unlike a cell phone you can use it in places where talking is disruptive. Best of all the communicator syncs automatically with your AIM buddy list so that you don't have to re-enter all of your on-line lists.

The only drawback is the size of the screen --its a bit small and might be hard to see if you have poor vision.
