Re: A challenge to all gurus: Help me keep my phone!

Anyone: How many key strokes do you perform to send a text message?
I can send a simple text message in 10 minutes using only 15 easy steps!!
(Obviously, I have GOT to make this easier!)

Assuming I'm already on the right screen:

1) Select MMS icon
2) Click on the micro-sized "Menu" in lower right corner
3) Bring up "New"
4) Select "To"
5) Go back down to tiny menu and select "Add recipient". This brings up the horrible contacts with the micro abc cde fgh across the top - NOT my iContacts.
6) Once I finally select a name I click on "Subject"
7) Click on the keyboard to bring it up, then turn the phone to landscape mode so I can actually use the keyboard. I then type in a subject.
8 ) Down window the keyboard since I cannot see anything else.
9) Now I click on the empty space below the Subject for the message contents.
10) Tap on the keyboard to bring it up again and enter the message.
11) Tap on the keyboard off and on during the message so I can see it and then edit it again.
12) Push send.
13) Exit
14) Go to Task Manager and close program
15) Go back to main menu.

That is all there is to it!
