I find this thread very amusing. My mom and I both got cell phones 9-10 years ago, and within the last month or so she has finally learned how to text. Where as, I've been texting for probably 7 of those 9.5 years. My brother (4 years younger than me) only really answers to texts instead of phone calls. And even then his spelling is awful.. I don't abbreviate too much while texting, and T9 is my friend.

I just recently got texting and an up to date cell phone. I love texting! I never really liked calling anyone, some people yeah but others no. Its easier to just send a quick text then to make a call that may on last a few seconds. (like if im going to meet up with friends and just to tell them im there then hang up) Also some of my converstations go over for awhile while texting but in a phone call the converstation would be over way faster.
I also have a qwerty keyboard so its easy to text. I don't think I would like texting very much without it now, since I never used a keypad before getting texting.
