Something about rinding a bike in traffic, I guess, needs the right hand more than the left.<BR/><BR/>I use SMS a LOT, and I despise the nubespek that is the L8R/G2G/<3 crap that seems to only be popular with the 90210/Ghetskheeee set. Maybe it's because I lean on the T9 a lot, or maybe I have 3 digits in my IQ and can spell words so I don't need to abbreviate them.<BR/><BR/>I need to find a phone which doesn't fucking interrupt the message I'm typing, with great pause, only to show me a new message has arrived. That shit pisses me off.<BR/><BR/>And Google needs to instantiate a Jabber<->SMS gateway to MaBell, so that I can send SMS to any jabber client in the world.
