I discovered a new function on my phone. It really speeds up texting my peeps. I thought tech geeks like myself would dig it. http://www.textfast.t9.com

I text my "peeps" with a computer and a keyboard. As much as I would love to type on a numerical pad with T9, I just find it too cumbersome...
Not to criticize, but you're kidding me, right? I've had this on my last 3 phones (Probably for the last 4 years). I'm sure this has been around for longer than that. Or I am I thinking of something else?
No one's calling you an idiot. I'm just saying that either you haven't updated you phone in a while, or you didn't read the manual like 95% of the population.jazzlover said:
Most people don't read those longwinded things. In the Unix world for when people can figure something out, others tell them to check the man pages by typing "man" followed by the program or command they want to learn about. They are told in this acronym though: RTFM. I always get a kick out of that.jazzlover said:
I used to be an ABC guy and texting pissed me off until a friend told me about T9. It took me about a week to get the ABC out of my system. Granted, I'm not the world's fastest texter (I use too much slang and often have to revert back to the ABC) but my texting speed has increased exponentially.
...T9?
Yeah, my phone sucks, and doesn't have it, but writing texts don't take that long.
I'm pretty quick with them. Yeah, it's not as fast as a qwerty keyboard, but it doesn't take all day.
and Text messages are $$. Who uses them SO MUCH that a few seconds on each one are important?

The question is, can any of you guys text with t9 with the phone in your pocket or out of sight? It's a skill I have built up while being in class and ... eeek ... driving.
Edit: Also, t9 has been around for ages, I couldn't text without it, it's about 100x faster than waiting for the letters to switch.

That drives me crazy; people who feel it necessary to text in class. I can't imagine my social life being so damned important that I couldn't be without my cell phone for a few hours. But then again, maybe I'm just old school.
