I havent read that yet anywhere...is it possible for the phone to make a sound when you press a key or vibrate?

Re: how do you guys text

I have no finger nails because they are just not manly. The stylus does not work well on the keyboard so I am stuck fingering, wait that sounds bad.

Re: how do you guys text

I use the phone keypad input 100% of the time. I broke up with qwerty and am now dating T9.

Re: how do you guys text

I use touchpal with my thumbs. The nice thing is that you can type one-handed if need be, although it's much faster with both hands. And I keep my fingernails short, I actually type MORE easily this way, as I always use the pads of my thumbs and nails just get in the way.

Re: how do you guys text

thumbs on the keyboard. every now and again i'll use the transcriber, but my handwriting is like chicken scratch so i have to make sure the settings are set for it. otherwise, jibberish.
