Why we don't get the (text) message (Interesting Article)
 

Texting is insanely popular overseas, but practically nonexistent in the United States - for now. That just means we'll have to import the best tech from abroad

DH I had a great time with you, Making Coin, and Magnus the other night. You and all the others there are beyond generous. Anything you ever need just say the word. :thumbsup

where is my blackberry? :upsidedow

i wonder what a 50,000 phone # database of people that text on a regular basis is worth.

i find it dull to communicate via messages. You can always make a call.

Haha no problem man, nice meeting you as well :)

See you at the next strip club frenzy in Amsterdam!!!!

i love texting. its one reason i bought the Q with a qwerty keyboard.

I got two towels to show for the night. I guess that is something. :Oh crap :1orglaugh Im bout 75% Ill be in Amsterdam. :thumbsup

myself and everyone i know text.

I think our use of actual text pagers like the Skytel's in the 90's, the Sidekicks and the Blackberrys hurt our overall text adoption.

It trained us to use a qwerty keyboard or just don't text at all. Now a large swath of our population is spoiled and hates to type with our thumbs on a numerical keypad while overseas people are capable of typing 70 words per minute with them.

Not to mention the US carriers have so many restrictions and excessive fees on content that it's stunting our growth.

It sucks over here for mobile.

Sidekick3. If I had to text with number keys Id go nuts. :Oh crap

Texting is still a pain in the ass on most phones...too many damn small keys, etc + relatively expensive! Good read....

texting takes time. You can make a call and say what you want in no time.

phones are a coming..i can feel the strom..im getting an umbrella and getting ready for the ride

i can only send a message by phone when i do not need an answere or when i an too timid to say something (but i can't remeber i ever did that way )
