British woman breaks texting speed world record using Swype

It still has to be approved by Guinness, but 27-year-old Melissa Thompson out of the UK looks to have beaten the previous record for the fastest texting ever. The record was previously held by Franklin Page while filming a commercial for Samsung. His time was 35.54 seconds. Melissa's was 25.94 seconds. The phrase they had to type? Oh nothing much really, just "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." Melissa's tools of the trade were the Swype keyboard on a Samsung Galaxy S phone.


So hey youngsters, if you have big dreams of growing up and becoming the fastest texter in the world, go out and pick up one of those Galaxy S phones and shoot for the stars.
