    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.

    In my experience, the people who say they don't like texting are the ones who either don't know how or are just REALLY REALLY slow. ;)

    If my parents can text then any person with fingers can text!!! I almost feel off the chair when I first got a text from one of them!

    My husband doesn't text, but he'll read a text from me on the rare occasion I send him one.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I just hate it, it takes too long and I would rather just make a quick call. I'm great at everything, so I know how to text, just not interested in it! ;)

    I text more than talk. I don't like to talk on the phone and texting to me is similar to the same thing as leaving someone a voice mail that is like just dropping of your message and then leaving it for them to get to and respond to when they get back to it.

    I also like to text my kids so we can talk while they are in school if I want to ask them something.

    I do think it is strange though when I see a couple in their 30's or older (usually they are in their thirties though), that are texting. I can't help but wonder who they are texting while they are with their husbands/wives. It's weird to me.

    but this was at a waterpark and their were all little kids and the parents were disinterested in everything but their texting it seemed. I guess I just thought they might be having like a text affair........I don't know.

    I like to people watch......

    My preference would be not to text. Besides the costs that can add up if you do it too much (Yes I know you can get unlimited), I'd rather speak to a live person and plus I don't want to be one of those people that's always texting. I find it rather rude when someone does that in your presence.

    Used to text all the time, but went to the phone store about a month ago and got rid of texting because it caused my phone bills to be sky high.

    Don't even miss it.

    i hated texting. now thats how i would rather communicate, cause i hate being on the phone even more.

    everyone knows to text me if the need to tell me something important because 90% of the time i wont pick up the phone when it rings. thats what VM is for. that way i can get the the info and i dont have to talk to poeple.

    if people would actually learn to call, discuss what needs to be discussed, and skip the bullshit chit chat b4 and after the main reason for the call, i would be more inclined to pick up the phone.

    thats just me though.
    i'm a stand-offish prick.
    Peace, Love.
