How fast can u txt ?

The world record has now been smashed, with the following being typed in just 67 seconds without using predictive text or text jargon.

"The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."

The guy that holds the record works for Vodafone and sends up to 4,000 messages a month !

He even has his own website to help improve your speed and time yourself :

Personally I've never got the hang of predictive text [brain doesnt seem to work that way] and spend hours typing individual letters and swearing at the phone. Helps keep my spending under control :P

Predictive text is easy provided you can spell. I don't understand why so many people seem to have problems with it.

I can't text very fast, mainly because the buttons on my 3200 are pretty dodgy.

Yeah I found that you have to be able to spell to use predictive text. I prefer using it to normal texting.
