A messaging maniac's primary use for his or her phone is texting. Making calls? So 20th Century!

These days, many people use their phones to send text, picture, or instant messages more than they do to make phone calls. What makes texting easier? Having a full QWERTY keyboard, of course. Luckily, QWERTY keyboard phones are widely available from all the carriers and many of them have evolved into smartphones.
