Maybe I'm the only dude in the world, but I don't see the point of text messaging. If you wanna tell someone something, call them. If it's too short and pointless, AIM them or something. Everyone does it these days.
But maybe I'm just the only dude in the world that doesn't check his phone every five seconds.

Agreed. I don't like it either, and I don't wanna pay for a "text messaging plan"; and at 10 cents a message, it's really cheaper (and easier) to just call me and leave a message or IM. Ten cents isn't much, but when you look back at, say, the ten messages you received last month, it's like "Damn, I paid a dollar for those?" For an occasional greeting, it's okay, but I don't like the regular use of it. Since I pay the cell phone bill in my house, I got annoyed by my brother last month because he received some 300+ text messages from one of his friends... all the same message too. =/
In light of 24 premiering, the only situation I can think of where text messaging might be useful is if you're a hostage, but have access to a phone in your pocket. Now that would be some elite skills there to navigate the menu and type your message and all (I think there was a similar scene in
The Departed); then again you could just dial 911 and leave it off-hook. But then there could be a PHOENIX SHIELD of some sort and all your signals are fucked anyway. =p
