It's not the phones, it's the people.
For the most part, people lack common sense and common courtesy.
Texting for me is an important communication tool. I use it when I don't want to get involved with a phone call. I'd rather send a text saying "please get milk on the way home from work" or "please feed the cat." Texting is a low priority message that can be looked at with minimal distraction. I personally don't use texting shorthand, absolutely hate it with a passion.
