you know what I think is funny, how big text messaging is in Asia, and it’s really funny they have contests to see who can text the fastest; they actually prefer it over talking... what is the world coming to? Here a news link > http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051214/20051214005365.html?.v=1

I like texting, I have 500 to use a month and with my new PDA it's really easy, full QWERTY keyboard makes entering [any] word(s) a doddle...
I can see how it's grown though, although sometimes a call is better when you want to be more personal.

It's nice to have for dropping notes to someone. I use texting with my fiancee, and I like it for letting her know stuff. If she used her e-mail often, I'd work with that, but she carries her phone with her more than she's on the computer (unlike me).
