I think these ads for a new texting device (is it a blackberry? I don't know what these things are or how they work) with a full keyboard, "So you can text it the way you'd say it!" To me, this is a total false dichotomy. Most of the people I know talk the way they text--they speak in such a stylizedly conversational ("casual") way, that listening to them I picture what they're saying as text.
Is this what people want? Something to help them transmit non-information to people who don't care what you're not-saying in a more detailed way? What's the fucking point?
