Actually, morse code is *much* faster than cell phone keyboards for
general text - at least for contests of skilled cell phone key boarders vs.
skilled morse code operators (Ham radio). The learning curve
is a lot steeper for morse code. I keep waiting for a cell phone with
a single high quality full travel key instead of a dozen chiclets ... and
waiting ... and waiting ...
