Lightening Fast Text Messaging

I have and probably will continue to have a Blackberry or some sort of full-keyboard email/phone device. I love the fact that I can send and receive emails from my primary email account no matter where I am. In the past, a few of my friends have text messaged me and, because of the full keyboard, I have had the tendency to reply with all the wordiness of an email. Recently though, I've discovered how quickly the Blackberry can tap out a much shorter SMS message (which, by the way, stands for SHORT Message Service) and how much more appreciative people are of my new-found brevity. It even works better while driving - just kidding :) cya l8r - k?
