Any keyboard that's not a QWERTY design sucks. So do the buttons on a mobile phone. Those buttons are way too small and not far enough apart to type comfortably. I always get cramps in my fingers attempting it. Hence I never try to type fast on those kind of 'keyboards', if you even want to call it that.

My phone uses T9 though. Sometimes I shut it off, sometimes I use it. Depends on how much I wish to type. Sometimes you gotta make words shorter to have them all fit in one text message.

Yeah, 160 characters isn't enough. I totally agree, STINGA.

I use to get finger cramps but now I don't, I live through the pain.

T9 is delicious. But I text msg people really fast without it. In fact, while using it, I would hit the buttons multiple times and then I'd have some other word instead of the one I wanted, and it just ended up taking more time so I shut it off and texted regular.

When I was on my older phone, I used regular text input. I also had a phone with a split QWERTY layout, but I typed in words regularly there, too.

Manual text entry, no rush.

I hate texting, also for reasons Stinger posted. But if I have to, I do it manually because I speak a language with the friends I text that T9 doesn't know. So it doesn't help.

I hate T9, so I use ABC's or Voice Text. Usually Voice Text.. if its quiet enough in the room. Otherwise you say 'Beans' and end up with 'Santa'.

My phone has t9 on it. I used it once and I didn't like it. I haven't used it since.
