" &amp;quot;I absolutely hate e-mailing from my BlackBerry, but if I don&amp;#039;t do it I&amp;#039;ll be fired. How can I type e-mails from the road without the chronic thumb cramps?&amp;quot; --Sausage Fingers in Chicago Dear Mr. Fingers: Clearly, you&amp;#039;re not a teenage girl, so why should you be e-mailing like one? Skip the micro-pads on those kids&amp;#039; toys and the dum txts evry1 h8s and pick up Nokia&amp;#039;s collapsible SU-8W Wireless Keyboard. It&amp;#039;s light, portable, easy to use, and just $149. (You can get it from nokiausa.com, any Nokia store, or your local electronics retailer.) Nokia&amp;#039;s keyboard looks and feels like the keyboard on your desk, but can fold up neatly and slips unobtrusively into a sports jacket pocket. And don&amp;#039;t worry -- you&amp;#039;re not trading sausage fingers for bulging trousers. When snapped shut, Nokia&amp;#039;s keyboard is about the size of slender paperback and weighs about the same amount. (Fellow geeks take note: Those dimensions are 5 1/2&amp;quot; x 3 1/2&amp;quot; x 3/4&amp;quot; and it weighs 6.7 ounces.) When opened wide, the keyboard is only slightly more compact than the keyboard found in a 13-inch laptop. (Again, for the geeks: The fully-opened SU-8W is 10&amp;quot; x 3 3/4 &amp;quot; vs. 10&amp;quot; x 4 1/2&amp;quot; for the 13-inch MacBook.) And setting the keyboard up is (literally) a snap. Just click open the keyboard, take out your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and place it in a small plastic tray that looks a little like a lawn chair. Follow the directions to link your phone to the keyboard (you only have to do this the first time) and start banging out lengthy, career-advancing emails. It&amp;#039;s that easy. Sure, Nokia could make some minor improvements. The keyboard should probably lock into a rigid position, so you don&amp;#039;t need a magazine or a book or a tabletop to use it. And yes, it the smaller keyboard does take a little getting used to, but if you&amp;#039;re an on-the-go guy with adult-sized hands, this is the best $149 you&amp;#039;ll ever spend. When I first got this device, I was one of those poor souls who you saw juggling a laptop, phone, BlackBerry, iPod, and all the other trappings of modern life in the security line at the airport. I understand that no one wants another device to carry, but this is the rare piece of technology that will actually give you less to haul around. Now all I need to do work is my handy-dandy keyboard, BlackBerry, and a flat surface.  In fact, I wrote this entire column sitting at Dressler, a little bar under the Williamsburg Bridge, waiting for Jim the Barkeep to stop ogling my cool-ass foldable keyboard from Nokia and start refilling my beer already.
