Heh, heh ... I am surprised no one has developed a wireless handlebar-mounted "clicker" to step through the numeric-alphabet and tap up letter-by-letter a text message.
I suppose today it would be something rather like this using a BT-connected ear/mic piece, "Okay Google, text Cormanus ... ".

Why bother when you can get gloves with touch sensitive finger tips that can drive a smart phone? Look out soccer mums, I say!
The best I was able to do is swipe the screen left and right.

Heck Cormanus, I was at Cycle Gear the other day and they had sticker things you put on regular gloves to make them work touch screens.

All you guys are making fun of an old man ! My wife and I both have flip phones but she will get a smart phone soon. We also have two laptops and a land line as well. You can also PM on the Forum.
I rather have people laugh at me than cry over me !
My "hero" Warren Buffet still uses a flip phone .
If any of you will buy me a smart phone than I will be ever so grateful.
