Texting is awesome. It’s the best. I wanted a phone with a keyboard for so long but I had to wait for verizon to come out with a good phone like t mobile sidekick. But I have to wait for my phone contract to end, so right now I have a different phone. Some of the reasons I like texting are, if you cant hang out with someone then you can text them. Or if you’re at one friend’s house then you can talk to them and text someone else at the same. Also if you need to tell someone something really fast and u were in a loud place or if it was a secret, you could just text it. And it’s easy to end a conversation if it gets weird or uncomfortable. And you can send picture messages. And you can have something you need to remember saved to your phone instead of having to right it down. But there are also many downsides to texting, like having to pay for every word or not having unlimited text messages. Or also not knowing how to spell a certain word. And if u had to call some one, and u went into a tunnel u wouldn’t be able to understand them. Or u could lose connection and someone might think you hung up on him or her. But with a cell phone u could just wait until u were out of the tunnel so you cant get a signal and text back. If you asked a bunch of people or took survey most of them would probably say they like texting more because of it easiness and speed. I think texting is easier and so do most of my friends and most of the other people that I know.
