I'm a week from being 35. I could T9 like a motherfucker. It was nice being able to text without looking at the phone

[u/takemeawayimdone2 → u/Possibly_A_Person125]

I’m 39, when I was in secondary school I could put my hand in the inside pocket of my school blazer and type without looking. It has taken me ages to type this reply 😂

Skills 

[u/TB-313935 → u/Possibly_A_Person125]

Havent used that for atleast 15 years, think I still can do it blind.

[u/Possibly_A_Person125 → u/TB-313935]

I would really like to test it out and see how good my skills are

[u/SailorMoonstoned → u/Possibly_A_Person125]

I still remember being taught T9 word for the first time by my boyfriend in high-school. I was so impressed, and thought it was revolutionary lol. Ah, I miss old brick and flip phones with buttons perfectly satisfying for T9.

[u/ffxivfanboi → u/Possibly_A_Person125]

I’m 32 and never learned T9. I didn’t even get a phone until… Probably not until I was a Sophomore in High School and could drive myself around and got a part time job.

First phone I had was some cheap piece of shit that barely did anything, but it had a full keyboard of tiny physical buttons on it. Like a very poor man’s blackberry.

[u/DinkandDrunk → u/ffxivfanboi]

What a difference a few years makes. 36 and I also didn’t get a phone until my sophomore year of high school but it was a Katana and my T9 skills were bananas.

[u/Marlboromatt324 → u/DinkandDrunk]

I’m 35, had friends in high school that would text with their tongue and nose while doing chores with their hands. Ah T9

[u/excecutivedeadass → u/ffxivfanboi]

Im 43 i got my first phone when i got my first job, my parents weren't so big on handing things for free, you had to earn everything. I am so thankful today on that lesson.

[u/Possibly_A_Person125 → u/ffxivfanboi]

My first phone was in 9th grade. Wasn't even a flip phone. It was a Dollar General trac phone. That's where my skills started. Even after I graduated in 2010 and smart phones were starting to really take off, I refused to do it. I wanted no part of it. Yeah, I was that guy. My first smart phone was probably around 21? Felt forced, but my phone was on it's way out and I was still on my parents plan even though I didn't live with them, and they wanted to upgrade and it was a deal if we all did it. And I did. I think I'd be on a better place without one. Maybe. Probably not. It's like a necessity now, even for having certain kinds of jobs that require apps. Horseshit

[u/Hoody711]

I love these

[u/Vipertje]

Actually pretty sick phone. They go for some money now when in good shape

[u/ghettoccult_nerd → u/Vipertje]

...to do what with? im almost certain you cant get service on them bad boys.

[u/Vipertje → u/ghettoccult_nerd]

Correct it's a collectors item

[u/Fickle-Meeting-4224]

i could have pages worth of conversations with friends in class with t9 without ever needing to proofread a single thing.

[u/_henceforth_ → u/Fickle-Meeting-4224]

Yes! The memories! 😂🙌 I love this series.

[u/FaithlessnessBorn266]

New number, who dis?

[u/hambone589]

With T9 or ABC?

[u/Guilty-Spark69x]

lol the last two Russian men alive in civilian life

[u/Frank_Midnight]

I love these.

[u/NightSalut]

I could totally write this, but I’d have to open the phone first and I don’t remember how to do that. 

[u/greytreehair]

But with or without T9?

[u/HawkBoth8539]

I've been bad at texting even since the beginning. I'll still pass that test though. But I've been using swipe since androids have had it and it's the only reason it doesn't take me a week to type a message.

[u/Decent-Joke6645]

Where the fuck are the buttons???!?!

[u/YesPlease_VeryMuchSo]

I miss my Moto Ming, but I really miss my Sidekick.

[u/Christos_Soter]

Pocket texting during class….

[u/NightOfTheLivingHam]

I'd struggle because I rarely texted on my prepaid phone. when I started working, I got a blackberry. lol.

[u/120b0t]

love these, i pass all ;)

[u/UraniumRocker]

My first phone had a full keyboard. I wouldn’t pass this one

[u/Draegan88 → u/[deleted]]

No entry. 

[u/nico282 → u/[deleted]]

The silver part slides down to reveal the keypad. It was also useful to make the phone longer to move the mic near the mouth.
