On a slightly similar note, I think that writing Japanese with cellphones is WAY quicker than writing English. Using a computer, I can write both Japanese and English fairly quickly, but I think it would be impossible for my Japanese to surpass my Engilsh in speed as I've clocked in at 110 WPM a few times. I can't think that fast in Japanese to be able to do that.

I do believe though, this all depends on what kind of Japanese you're using. If you're using really informal Japanese then it's often quicker than English because you don't have to type "I" and "you" and other things over and over again.

Writing wise... I suck at both English and Japanese. If I write fast in English it looks like a mess and it's indecipherable to most people. As far as Japanese goes, I like using a computer because it figures the kanji out for me so I don't have to worry about it.
