Dexterity is the name of the game, and your fingers do most of the talking. That's not to say you're not social, just that sometimes it's just easier to say it in words.

With a fairly active lifestyle, sometimes you're not in the right environment to talk. Whether it's just too loud in the club, during a business meeting, or just spotty reception on the subways, text messaging provides a convenient way for your friends to leave you short notes that you can conveniently answer with your fingers later.

To you, function matters more than form. And you probably prefer a full QWERTY keyboard to make life easier on the thumbs. With all the text messaging jargon you go through, you've experienced the pains of predictive text and are always on the lookout to speed up your typing.

But that's not all you care about. A large screen eases the task by providing more lines of text to view. And multimedia messaging and a built-in camera are probably in the back of your mind as well.

Regardless, we don't have to tell you a picture is worth a thousand words; most likely you've already found all the shortcuts to optimize speed and efficiency.
