Have they ever tried texting on a G1?

Due to the layout, texting pretty much requires two hands to hold/text comfortably, not to mention you'll need to look where the keys are and read the tiny font on screen.

I'd say it's pretty much impossible to text while driving with a G1, unless of course you've a spare pair of hands and eyes..
