Meanwhile you can check out a lot of info about the concept at http://www.anotofunctionality.com/

Sorry for the delay, I was a bit ill this weekend....

First some facts;
It is "quite" expensive; 2.800 SEK (= $280).

For operation you also need a Vodafone GPRS subscription together with a dedicated Anoto-pen service (called Notera).

I am using it with my T68m (with latest sw R2D005), but it should also work with other Bluetooth/GPRS phones from Ericsson.

Price per message is between 2-4 SEK (20-40 cents), depending on what type of message you send.
From the start you can send SMS, email, fax, and "notes" to yourself.

Ok, now down to REAL business, How is it to use?

Well, installation was surprisingly easy, first connect the Chatpen to the phone, (normal Bluetooth "binding"), after that the pen was installed automatically through the net.

Together with the pen I have one post-it notes pad to write and send email and SMS with. Plus one Memo notes book from which I can send emails and store notes (send to myself).

I have not yet tried the Memo note book feature, so I can only give you some ideas about the SMS/email from Post-its....
But that only is very nice. It is so easy to use, just tap a small box on top of the post-it, write your message, enter Receivers address/phone number (handwriting recognition for this works quite well), and finally tap the box Send. Voila! your friend have your message.
You can also use your address-book in the phone to select receiver, which is a nice feature.

The email (from post-it) is delivered as a yellow post-it with your hand-written message/picture on it.
The SMS can either be ordinary text, or a picture together with text.

From pictures it might look like a big cigarr, and yes it is that big....but the feeling in your hand is ok since it is very light-weight.

Batteries seems to last "quite long". I now have 67% and have write time 1hr 20m, and "standby" time 6hr (this is with the cap off).
Spec says 10hrs with cap off, and 4 weeks with cap on.

Ok, thats short so now shoot! I suppose some of you have some more questions.....

Can you use it for writing into text fields?(wap,sms,e-mail functions of phone.)

Does the text you write leaves on paper also like a normal pen or pencil?

I think SE must create a simple model of chatpen which only let you entering text in text fields, drawing picture and scrolling. That would be better and cheaper.

Could you explain why you need their pen service? I fail to see how a bluetooth input device would require 3rd party intervention? Does it not just feed text to your phone or whatever?
