I text, but only because I have two twentyish sons who text me. I also have a new Motorola z9 with the at&t navigator and I love it. They had a special for $5 a month for the Navigator so I also got unlimited internet. I can take it off any time I want. On my phone it comes out to a total of $20 for internet and gps. I find I use the internet to check weather and email when I am away from home.
