RIM needs to sponsor you as well
Better upload some YouTube too.
I'll definitely need to practice to go neck-to-neck, especially with the razor-toothed piranhas of Serrasalmus (the standard 160-character speed texting competition phrase, which Guiness also uses). Of course, unless you want me to get this year's record and you try for next year's. Stopwatches in the background would be an asset.
TyperSpeed, while not perfect, does use the 5 character per word standard, but can also be calculated externally using a stopwatch and the number of character of a phrase. From the YouTube video, it seemed to be accurate, when I also measured with the external stopwatch (the time when I started, the time when I stopped, and the number of characters). But the TyperSpeed I was using wasn't using the standard speedtexting phrase, but I've requested the author to add the razortooth paragraph...
