um its 40 secs cuz its probably on a regular 12 key, under abc mode not t9 or qwerty. but i wouldnt know lmao. i type on a 12 key abc mode and im fairly fast but when a sentence like that randomly pops up and i have to type it, it would be longer then 41 and w.e secs

I'm pretty sure most ppl with a phone above the age of 4 could better that, not exactly lightning speed... maybe if the contestants were doped up on thorazine or benzo's and had their thumbs cut off this may be a record

41.52 seconds is the world record to send this:-

"The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."

I don't know the rules but a guy with N97 or E90 have much a better chance than, say a guy with N73 or N82. And i don't think anyone with iphone will win this...he he. I read the last few pages and it seems every gsmarena visitor is from philippines. (no, i'm not). why is everyone so crazy about texting, making calls is much faster. I'm sure i can talk faster than the world champion can text, even though i'm not a rapper. Another world cup, world fastest caller, anyone?

philippines is not included because the requirement says "most accurate and most fastest"

most filipinoes only used shortcuts when texting....

too bad Philippines is not part of this event. i guess LG snubbed Philippines for the reason that Filipinos are sure winner. even a 60 year old lady could even text fast. lolz
