T-Mobile Subscribers are the Most Text Happy

OMG! Have u herd da newz? T-Mobile subscribers spend more time mashing their thumbs on tiny keys ferociously text messaging their contacts and updating their Facebook profiles than any other mobile customers, T-Mobile boasts.

"Our users are sending 600 messages per user per month on average. And, a lot of the users on our higher-end smartphones update their status on social networks a couple times a week," said Cole Brodman, T-Mobile USA's CTO.

Brodman said much of the activity can be attributed to Android users, who now have both the G1 and newer myTouch 3G to play with, as well as access to around 10,000 applications through the Android Market. In order to support these high-tech phones, a growing list of apps, and an active userbase, T-Mobile said it plans to update its 3G network to HSPA 7.2 by the end of the year, followed by another upgrade to HSPA 21 by next year.

I have no problems using a 'virtual' keyboard.  Specially when it can adapt to the way I'm holding the phone at the time.  Also iPhone users are busy surfing the web, using twitter, Facebook, watching videos and listening to music.

Cuz they actually like texting since most have a G1 or Crackberry with a REAL keyboard.

It will be a  long time before I give up a keyboard for a virtual one!
