big-will 7 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Just saw a report where they asked people how many keitai mails they sent a day...... The average was "over 100". Can you believe that? Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 100- be lucky to send 2 a week! Email is another story though! Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Maybe teenagers and young '20s can do that much a day! Too hard for me with those small keys for farsighted oyaji eyes and thick fingers. Nothing works! Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 It would be interesting to see a sample of what their mails were. Good for a laugh. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah kids can touch type, and that's their form of passing notes during class, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah well I surprised myself by sending over 400 in a month...crazy!! I dont know how I did it Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Are they things like "Getting on the bus now, how about you?" Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 親指文化！！ anywhere from 0-30/day Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 yeah most of them are really short, like "see ya there" etc. not 1000 word epics or anything like that Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Mine average is around 10 mail/day. Usually I am too lazy to write so I just call. Kids can’t afford to call because the monthly bill reaches sky-high and the parents get pissed of. So they stick to mails that are cheaper. It used to be that way for me too when I was in high school. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I'm anywhere from 0-40 a day But they are usually no more than 100 characters I never call and in a month don't talk more than 5 or 6 minutes on my keitei Link to post Share on other sites

intr0 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 paying for email is ridiculous. 0. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 There are unlimited packet plans for email & web, but there are no unlimited talk plans, unlike in NA. So, very different usage patterns. How are things in Europe? I hear texting is quite popular. Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I sent a few when I first got a keitai but I thought as well as being annoying to try and 'type', it was just getting ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Oh yeah, and the predictive IME really helps for entering Japanese texts into local handsets, but almost all phones (except for the Vodafone SE global model) don't have it for English (like they do in the UK, called T9 or something). So, most of my keitai mails are in Japanese, even to native English speakers if their Japanese is good enough. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Just a few when needed - probably about 5 a week. Link to post Share on other sites
slimeypete 0 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Probably just a few a day. I find those things pretty tedious for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Sexy 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Some of my friend always using it. I don't use so much, maybe between 0 and 5 in day. I prefer talk and seeing Link to post Share on other sites

I have friends that can type the hall Bible in their phones in less than 1 hour! Link to post Share on other sites

zebedee 1 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Recently I've not been using my keitai much at all. I was taking it on holidays and days out and ending up talking work.... no good. So I just dont take it with me a lot now. Link to post Share on other sites
