OK, so there are some for whom text is more common. Variety is good.
All the more reason to provide an enable/disable gui control for it.

Amusing that I skipped SMS because I hardly use it from my handheld,
since I almost always travel with a notebook computer, and even
compared to a cell phone with a physical keyboard (like my
already-mentioned 5-year-old Blackberry) it's just so much easier
to send mail/sms from a full-sized keyboard).
