Talk to text? WTF?
Why not just press the call button and talk to an actual person on the other end?

what? are you serious? no one would ever use a phone to TALK on!

i’m guilty of too much text. by the middle of the month they’ll quit telling me how many messages i sent/ received and just tells me how much i text in MB.

You were saying ...

Why not just press the call button and talk to an actual person on the other end?

Ummmm..., gotta think like a person who has an iPhone. That person knows that they've got a mini-computer in their hands, and it's not just "phone stuff" that they're doing.

I may be wanting to document something to put down later. Instead of transcribing it from my "voice message" (which I could do, too...), I'll "transcribe it" ready to put into notes for future reference.

Another thing, too..., if I want to add a address book card, but I don't have the time right now, I can speak into this, making the text-note that I want, so that when I've got time to update my address book, I can just copy and paste straight to the address book... :-)

There are plenty of uses for this one. I'm sure it's going to be quite successful.

text has its advantages. Like If you just need a quick answer to a question, but you don't need it instantly; You're in mixed company, a meeting or whatever, and you don't want to speak.

Lots of reasons really.

Now I agree, people that text and drive should be summarily shot. Talk about stupid.

You know, if they can do speech to text, why not reverse it when receiving messages?
