RE: Text messages
I never used text messages until I got a phone with a keyboard on it. \\; Now, I prefer text messages over phone calls 99% of the time. \\; I don't always want to be trapped on a phone call, so I will just send a text message. \\; \\;I can text my wife from work, and nobody knows the difference. \\; Now, I \\;send and receive \\;e-mail with my phone too. \\; To me, it seems like talking on the phone is much more inconvenient than typing a text message these days.

RE: Text messages
I bought a cell phone with a QWERTY keyboard about 6 months ago. \\; Wow, what a difference that makes! \\; I \\;don't \\;like to talk on the phone much either, so it's nice to be able to send a text message instead. \\; I find I can communicate \\;more clearly with a text message than with a voice mail. \\; For some reason, as soon as that voice mail recorder comes on, I get tongue tied. \\; As others have said, it's \\;all about \\;personal preference.

RE: Text messages
It is nice to have I text people because it is just easier. Like said no BS'ing just straight to the point. Or, if I'm somewhere loud or just hanging out with friends and don't want to be on the phone. Or, watching movies or tv it is nice. When trying to have an actual conversation I call people though. I don't use all those damn shorthand messages that people use.
