Watch as 23-year-old Franklin Page sets the Guinness World Record for the fastest text message on a touchscreen mobile phone.  The phone used is the Samsung Omnia II which is the first to feature Samsung’s new text entry technology called Swype.  Page, a Swype intern, set the new record at 35.54 seconds, beating out the previous record of 40.91 seconds.  He won the crown typing: “The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human.”  That’s the 160-character phrase Guinness uses for all text-messaging records.  And the deed was captured on camera and made into an exciting commercial for Samsung.
