SMS (on a normal phone) sucks

Ok, something I have to get off my chest. I just can't understand how SMS has become so popular. I mean typing a real meaningful message on a phone (without a thumb-keyboard) sucks big time. While in Greece, I had to use my mobile to send a couple of SMS messages that went beyond just "GR8 Holiday" and it took me forever - even using T9. Surely there's room for improvement and innovation there. I hope the person who received them realizes the pain I went through :-).

Simple solution: Just use a smartphone like a Treo with a "real" keyboard. And SMS and Emails are like a piece of cake!
