Cell phone Texting? Whats the Fastest way?

[hunkydory]

I Use T9 (if you don't know: http://www.textfast.t9.com/ind ex1.htm ) alot for when it comes to text messaging recently, but i know that there are some people which still prefer to use the ABC way to text people. what do you use? and which is faster?

If you get used to T9 then you will type faster. I use the simple way cause it confuses me. I use a mobile since 93 and I have yet to learn to type fast.

Sometimes T9 brings some funny words which have nothing to do with what you want to type

ya i been using T9 because in the long run it makes you type faster than using the ABC mode. After altering my dictionary on my phone a bit i got my T9 to stop putting in random words.

t9 doesn't always work right... and it doesn't like to recognize some of my favorite words. It's a pain in the ass when you have to clear out a word because stupid t9 doesn't think it exists, then change the settings to type in ABC mode, then back again.

your phone doesn't save new words? i swear all of them do that now...

I use the ABC way. For me T9 would take too long to get used to, so I don't bother. I text nearly as fast as I type so its not that bad... Except im only 16 and have arthritis in my index fingers and wrists already (but NOT from texting! It was from an accident).

i have a motorola so I have to use the funky "iTap" ... T9 is my method of choice though

There is some thing on my phone labeled "canned messages" but that's about as convenient as going back to ABC mode.

My phone's stupid.
