The Nokia Digital Writing Solution is a versatile way of communicating with your computer and mobile phone without a keyboard or keypad. It's similar to the Logitech io Pen but has a few extra features and is three times more expensive.

The pen is used with specially designed 'Black and Red' books. After 'learning' your handwriting, it can convert it into text and then send it to a computer to be imported into Office documents and attached to emails.

Because the pen is Bluetooth-enabled you can also create MMS messages or emails to send via a compatible mobile phone. A list of phones can be found on the Nokia website here. 

The pen can store around 100 A5 pages of text, and transferring pages to a computer only takes a few seconds. The pen recharges via its cradle, or a standard Nokia phone adapter.

If you prefer writing to typing, this is a good, if costly, compromise.
