Wait until they find out that you had to type the message out on a number pad with physical buttons.
I could type without looking with T9 but can't type for shit on touchscreens.
Swype keyboards are a godsend.
When they work.
Sometimes they decide there's no word in the English language that begins with a K, so you get a long pause, the word "thus," and no alternate guesses.
Sometimes they decide this five or six times in a row and you give up and tap it out letter by letter like some kind of neanderthal.
Never had that issue. Which keyboard are you using, if you don't mind me asking? Personally I'm still on Swype & Dragon. Pioneer and still best of class, even though it was officially discontinued years ago.
Right? I used to send text messages while driving without taking my eyes off the road. Of course now voice to text improved that further, but for a while the touchscreen phones were impossible to send messages with without giving them your undivided attention.
