40 or 50 a day?! Are you kidding me? I send maybe 1 per every 2 weeks, and I still think that's more than enough. I feel sorry for the parents that have to pay the cell phone bills for teens like these. I wouldn't be surprised if she has arthritis already. That's ok, the pain probably goes away from the adrenaline rush she gets from all the caffeine at starbucks.

I have never sent a text message...ever.
Google needs to add that phrase to the voice keyboard so people can break the record with ease.

40 or 50 a day when you have a significant other is really not all that much. Unlimited texting plans are pretty much the standard now anyways.

Yea this isn't really something to be happy about... Find you send a lot of messages, who the hell cares how fast you do it.

LOL. No can do with my fingers.
I don't see anything bad about it and text messages are very cheap with right contracts and i bet that everyone has a good contract who txts so much.
It's something like 50/50 with my calls and txts. In my opinion, it's same thing with keyboard. Probably many of us can write pretty fast.
Gratz,... But was there any prices for the fastest txt'er?

To me, the contracts are the reason I still don't text...email acts the same as a text, but with attachments and larger capacity...and it is free! I know there are still a few people left with phones that can't email...but generally, these people don't text because they are too cheap to pay for the monthly service.

if they ever add a cash incentive to beat the record i will do it easily.I use text sometimes usually cause my sister is working and can't ring me or answer a call so we text each other.

the Google server that translates voice to text would have a conniption with the text she broke the record with. and if she Swyped that. thats not the same as texting. there should be a category for this type of record. like on screen texting speed, qwerty keyboard speed, predictive text help on or off as well.

Maybe i can beat the most shots taken to the head world record...when i realize how screwed up this world really can get.
of all the things you can be proud of texting shouldn't be one.

She's 27 and has her own job. Is that still a problem for you?
