My girlfriend wants me to text her more so we can save minutes but I hate texting. It always takes so damn long and I have a cell to communicate by voice not by text. What should I do? I need some advice.

theres like this T9 thingy on mine, i also hate texting but it makes it berable. you just type in the first couple letters and it picks up on it instead of keepin on hittin the number keys.

yeah I'll use t9, you'll grow to like it more, just push the up arrow to switch between words.
just like aim though, I think texting is pointles, there's no emotion involved.

ya u do get faster at it as you go along, but yep deathfrog, no emotion. Things can get easily misunderstood in a text. Its happened to me alot haha.

yea, its pretty tough without emotion, i find that a lot on forums. cant really tell when people are being sarcastic, ends up gettin a lotta people pissed off

Mobiles are a plague and should be wiped from the face of the earth. Burn your phones

Is T9 expensive? I already pay an arm and a leg for my cell.

T9 is predictive text and its free already on your phone.
My chick whinges that I don't reply to her texts enough so I did reply more but only using the "Answer is yes" or "Answer is no" text templates!

It actually makes texting more fun cos you have to try to fit the message near as possible to the 2 answers - which very often makes no sense what so ever so she rings me to ask WTF.

I do the same thing. Can you add words to T9. I'm typing mom and it spells it nun.
