I took it off my phone because my husband & I don't EVER use it. I see people all the time texting while driving, walking, eating, laying in bed, working out, wtf? Doesn't anyone call people anymore? :o

    my husband and I were not into texting. we began receiving spam and I was charged for it, so I disabled it. This lady I work with is hooked on it. We work closely together and I'm glad I disabled it, she would probably text me constantly and I would have to pay.

    It's the law that we must stop for school buses loading and unloading kids. I've noticed they think they are cool and walk slowly. But I get very annoyed that they walk slowly and text walking in front of my car.

    I have twice, only to learn how to. Does that count? ;) I really don't have any use for it though. I barely use my cell at all unless I'm out of town. :)

    I really like text messages. I can send them even while my husband is teaching if I need to tell him something and vice-versa. (I couldn't call at those times.) And, when he sends 'em, it doesn't disturb my rehearsals but I still get the note from him. :D

    I like it much better than the phone during the day. :)

    Sometimes I don't like to answer the phone because it's not convenient.

    I am not a fan of it at all. I have a small plan on my phone only text a couple friends who prefer small chit-chat in that manner. I otherwise use my minutes. I don't have a home phone and spend quite a bit of time in my car. I make all my calls on my way home from work (occasionally on the way there) and for the most part, my phone ringer is off at night.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    I have no patience for texting...I don't have it included with my plan so i don't do it much anyway for that reason.

    I do it occasionally, but pretty much hate it because it takes me so long. Maybe I'm just old and slow.

    I text everyone. My family, friends, co-workers. Hell even my landlord texts me.

    Usually its for little information, so you don't have to make chit chat, but get a question answered or information out. It's like email. I will arrange get togethers, send jokes, or communicate with people at times when I can't be on the phone..

    i used it to hate texting until i got a phone with a keyboard.....even now i don't don't it very ofter....but it is nice if you need to send a phone # or directions or if you can't talk on the phone but need to tell someone something

    it's the dumbshits that will be texting each other while sitting at the same table.....time to give up on life if you're that out of it :)

    Same here. Just picked up the new env2 and actually dig it now. I talk all day at work so when I am at home, texting is cool so I dont have to talk on the phone. Usually just bs with buddys about tv and scores and the like, but I could NOT STAND IT on my old phone. Keyboard is the only way for me.

    I barely ever text. If I want to talk to someone that bad, I'll call them.

    I prefer texting. I talk on the phone all night for work, so I prefer to be direct and to the point. Much better than rambling on.

    I don't text except in places where I have to quiet or where it's too loud to hear a conversation. That amounts to 1 0r 2 texts a month.

    i wasn't a big texter until about a year ago. i started dating a guy who would only text me...that didn't last very long ;) but, i find it especially useful for finding my friends in crowded bars...and sending out a quick message to a bunch of my friends. saves me time talking on the phone.
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.
