I never understood the allure of text-messaging via a phone. It always seemed kinda redundant to me . . .

If they were using a standard cell, it's no wonder. They have to press the same key as many times as the Morse code sender, but then they have to move to a different button. The Morse sender just has one button. Also, the Morse sender doesn't have to look at a display to see what he is typing - cell phone text messaging, you have to confirm each letter. The Morse guy has instant feedback from the sound of the dashes and dots.
