Would you rather type a text message with eyes closed or with faded keypads?

Well, I can actually do that if I am accustomed to the layout of the keypad but, for some models, I might have difficulty because there are some changes with the layout. Of course, I could compose messages without looking at my mobile phone and I even use the dictionary feature which makes it more easier to compose messages. For those that have already erased characters in their keypad, one would say that they have really used their phones or they are pretty old already. At any rate, as long as they serve their purpose, I guess that's okay. Good thing there are keypads that don't easily get erased now.. but, for those who still do, they could just go at a kiosks at malls where cellphone accessories are sold. (^_^ )

A few years ago I used to text much more often than now and I was getting pretty good at doing it without looking. Now that's not the case. I would rather text with faded keys than with my eyes closed because I don't always remember where all the letters are. Things get worse as the years go by you know and memory fades Eyesight doesn't improve either!

I have no problem with faded keypads considering that I am very much familiar with my cellphone already. I type without looking at it. I can even type while I am driving my vehicle. I know its dangerous but sometimes there is always the urge to type. Well, perhaps even if the text are faded on the keypad, I think I can still do it although the letters on my keypads are still very much clear.

I can do both but it would be more convenient if my phone has faded keys than me not looking at the characters i'm keying. Typing with eyes closed is just as good as typing with faded keys because it the marks would just be useless. I can type without looking but i just want to be sure that i sent the correct message especially to a girlfriend. Lol!

Hello aiza! I am not a faster typer and it's still hard for me to type without looking at the keypads. I prefer typing with faded keypads than closing my eyes because even if the letters are faded, I can still remember where the letters located.

i used to have a cellphone with a really worn out keypad and i could manage to text because i do not really look at the keypad while typing. before answering this i tried texting with my eyes closed and it's so difficult :)

I can type message with my eyes closed and maybe I would have 5 or 6 mistakes.

huh?how can we type txt message with eyes closed?but maybe if you memorize the keyboard maybe no need to see the letters while typing

hahaha.. I used to be like that... well, it comes with practice.. I played a typing game from reflexive arcade before which helped me to type even without looking at the keyboard, while proudly competing with my siblings of our scores... what inspired me to practice before was when I saw my brother chatting with someone and typing while the lights are off... I found it really cool so I trained and hehe.. i just can't remember how long it took me.. but it helped a lot... ^_^

Yep mee too Theresaaiza! Hoho, may be it'is because I use my phone tho chatting and login to my yahoomail account. Luckily my phone pads is good, hoho, its not even faded and so on :D.

I have developed a habit of typing on mobile that now with my faded keypad even I can do that very efficiently... And all this is coz in last one year I used my mobile for chatting a lot... U too go on soon you will be easy with it... Happy mylotting

i can do both! hehehe this is how im attached to my phone.. for other phone model i have to familiarize myself with its keypad before attempting to do the eyes closed texting.. hehehe

texting with eyes closed is easier for me. wierd, indeed, that it is more difficult if the keypad in faded out, even if you know where the characters are supposed to be

texting without looking on a keypad is not that challenging. I too can do that, specially when i am crossing on a street i always used my memory, because every key on a phone are already memorized... so i would say, other people could also do that.. that's just an easy thong to do...

Neither. I'd feel lost. I would like to have a clear keypad and look at what I'm messaging.

Hi Theresaaiza, What's the difference lol. I can text a message on my phone with my eyes closed so it is not a big problem for me. But of course, I do need a first look to get my initial bearings. Cheers!

Hey Theresaaiza! I had a phone like that! You couldn't see any of the numbers at all! But, that was on my home phone! I don't text! If I did I'm sure I would use my phone to the point where it would fade fast! But, I just don't understand why people text! It is so much faster to make the phone call! I spend enough time typing on the computer! I just don't want to type on the phone too!

Lolz...i can easily... I used to sms my friends when i am in college while taking lectures.....hehehehe... Those professors....Uhmm..who cares...Looking at them and typing below the tables :P

My cellphone has been used for several years, as well as my computer keyboard. As you know, it is natural to be faded, even without any dot on the buttons. But I feel it is ok. Nothing affects my speed to type and text. Actually, I think it is because I have a virtual keyboard in my mind already. Consequently, my mind controls exactly where my fingures should put on. Pretty cool.

i'd text with faded keypads although i can do it with eyes closed. if worse comes to worst, and you did a typo, you can always say the keypad was worn out instead of saying i wasn't looking.
