I am the world's slowest text messeger!
Big honking fingers and little tiny buttons.

1. i don't even try anymore, i'm terrible at it, my fingers are too big as well.
and i really don't know all the abbreviations. Sometimes when i get one i save it and have my daughter decipher it for me.

2. So am I.
And am I the only person who types complete sentences in a text message?

3. practice practice practice
or get a blackjack or blackberry I guess

I do all right on my little cell phone but it is tedious.

I can text my sister and it takes me 5 minutes to do

she replies almost instantly with a longer message :grr:

her Sony Treo or her blackberry

the blackjack is kinda cool though

8. I just got my RAZR (used because I did not want to do another contract)
What phone do you have now?

I do not think the blackjack works on the deathstar.

11. i have sprint
a samsung katana II

it feels solid and is similar to a razr, but i had prbs with razr's went through 3 of them in a year

the texting on them is easier and this needed an adjustment/learning curve for me because the space and caps are on opposite sides, and the punctuation is all kind of ridiculous so i don't use much of it there :PP

13. Interesting
So far I really like my RAZR. I know the RAZRs for Sprint have totally different guts than the ones for T-Mobile and the deathstar, I hope that was the issue, because I would hate to have to get another phone. Especially since I have the Motorola phone tools software on my laptop and can back up my phone stuff onto my computer.

Doing almost everything on the RAZR is different than doing it on my old LG.

9. You should do what I do
Call the person and use the magic of the spoken word to tell them something.
