I'm usually pretty smart when it comes to electronics but I think I'll try to stick to the basics and talk to people. Thanks for the info Eric.

Texting can be useful at times though.like when you just wanna say hi to friends! T9 makes it even more faster to text on my mobile phone than using the multi-tap.

People are too lazy to type their damn messages out properly now??? soon we will think it and it will be done. I wonder why theres a rise in obesity all of a sudden.

Obesity may be rising, but people have very muscular and agile thumbs. Strangely, this seems to be causing problems in some because the thumb did not evolve with such a load and is being put under stress from all of these new movements, leading to circulation problems and the like.

I rarely text. I just can't be bothered when it's usually easier to call.

On an (even more) off topic side note, I've just installed Firefox 2, and this inline spellchecker is fantastic!

Predictive text is great for me and really helps me when creating messages. I can't stand messages that have uncomprehendable abbreviation in it. I used to practiced at this site www.t9.com, very helpful indeed.

Predictive text has all but eradicated th crse ov txt spk. I h8 txt spk.

I text a lot, so i am all for anything that makes me able to understand what I recieve in return
