Motorola rolls out keyboard-equipped pager

Motorola has introduced a beeper-sized device with a full keyboard and flip-up screen for two-way messaging and limited access to Web information.

The Talkabout T900 can exchange short text messages and email with any other wireless device, mobile phone or computer with an email address, as well as retrieve basic news and information from the Internet, including traffic and weather conditions, sports scores, stock quotes, and movie times.

The device is due to hit the market next month and will sell for less than $200.
