Text messaging record set on Samsung phone

Franklin Page, types out text messages via Samsung Electronics’ Omnia II in New York, yesterday. Page, an employee of Swype, set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest text messaging on a touchscreen mobile phone.

Page typed in a 26-word phrase in 35.54 seconds, beating the previous top speed of 41.4 seconds.

The user texted the Guinness-designated phrase: “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”

A previous world record set by a user in Singapore typed the same 160-letter, 26-word phrase in 41.4 seconds.
