You will.

You will send a lot of them.

I never got the point of text messages so annoying to write on most phones, and you can't really say much.

The last time I sent a text message was probably X-Mas or something like that.

Yeah, I don't agree that you will just start sending text messages. I've NEVER done it and I've had this cell phone for over a year and a half. I'm just the cheapest bastard around though. I try to make the majority of my calls after 9 PM, or if that is not an option, then I make the calls on the weekend. Or I try to call other Verizon cell-phone users. I only make calls that will actually be charged when absolutely necessary...

Now this is closer to how I use my phone.

Which works out great at my school since 90% of the cell phone users have Verizon since there are only two companies.

Bond, you aren't the last person to have a cell phone on the face of the earth. There are a ton of poor (fortunate?) souls that don't have one.

Yeah, I didn't think I'd text much either, but it's a great alternative to talking. My friend is a whiz on the keypad for typing messages, christ. Whenever I send him a message I get one back in less than ten seconds.

Some phones have T9 Predictive text input...

instead of tapping multiple times to get a letter just type a number combo...

for the word don't... u type 3, 6, 6, 8 and a number of words come up as a possibility of what your trying to type.

since D is on three, and O, and N is on 6 and T is on 8.... it will appear DONT...

It's a cool feature, makes things faster.

Oh, I know about it. I hate how it finds ways to turn itself on every once in a while.

if youre looking for an afforadable gadget-full phone with video cameras and the whole lot...take a look at BenQ....if you dont care much bout brand names BenQ phones are really userfriendly and the cameras/colour screens beat nokia's quality flat...Cause its a taiwanese brand...its fairly inexpensive...but it doesnt slack in quality....just make sure it supports GSM in your area...
