Yep....on my third consecutive Blackberry now. I keep going for a slightly larger (dimensionally) model hoping the keyboard will be expansive enough for my fingers.....fail every time.

Looking for one the size of a house brick next

The member of our band at whose house we rehearse regularly texts us all about the next session. My replies to him are the only time I ever text.

As for phones, I became briefly infatuated with using it for the internet, so when I got my current service I bought a phone with internet and a camera. I've used them so much that when it finally dies I intend to replace it with an el-cheapo model that makes phone calls.

When not using the phone I use skype for communication, at least with that you can see who your talking too. What i find morbid with this texting is those who use it don't have any emotional/mental contact with the receiver at least on a phone you hear their voice texting its nothing.

Can understand if you need to text about work etc but using texting as your main form of communication you mos well be texting to yourself.

I kinda like texting. It's not the most convenient method of communication, but for confirming plans and meeting people, it's extremely handy. Sadly, noone ever texts me, so that capacity in my phone goes largely unused.
