Exactly. The msot common punctuation is available via the '1' key, which cycles period, Excalamation point, question mark.. The comma is around 6, which is a fair enough place, given that my SMS speech tends to be a bit shorter and choppier.
The asterisk is mostly through 'joystick' presses to get through a menu: (Left- not always needed), Center, Down x4, Center, Down, 1. So that's 7 or 8, alhough the four downs can be executed fairly rapidly. There is room for automatic text.. so I could store phrases like "Good morning" and "Oh, work was fine".. but it's 6 keypresses to get to that menu, and then scrolling in there, so it never gets used.
Now, this is one of the *best* SMS clients out there for a non-keyboard phone, at that. Given my propensity for SMS, I'm pondering switching to something with a full keyboard, at such time I can justify the $40 a month cost up from my current $20-25.
