Both my texting "experts" prefer a phone keypad


I've offered my Samsung Blackjack to both my daughters, who do a fair bit of texting, to replace their broken or charge-depleted phones on recent occasions. I figured that they would love the fully QWERTY keyboard for texting compared to the T9 configuration of their usual phones. Both replied that texting is slower and more confusing than using their regular phone. To be fair, neither were very excited about texting on my iPhone either. It seems the T9 phone pad reigns supreme with these young texters. It's what they are used to, even though two or three keys per letter seems excruciating to me. Have you noticed this same phenom?
