Nice! I don't know where I first saw it, maybe on a New Yorker cover, but the image came to me so I googled Norman Rockwell self portrait and found it.
Honestly it was. I'm probably faster at typing on a qwerty touch screen now (I rarely actually use swype, though) than I would be if you handed me a T9 now, but that's just due to more recent practice, I'd bet. My fingers flew across that numberpad back in the day. Lol
That will be $86.17 on a 3 year contract for 5 selfies a month. Overages are $25/selfie. No long-distance. Nights and weekend selfies are one (1) at no charge per week (rolling 7 days).

So that's how you took selfies back in 1890?

Such a cool take on the self portrait. Truly creative!

I'm from the 90s and can confirm this is true

It was a pain in the ass to sext when you didn't have a roll of quarters handy.

Also typing on these things was a pita when you have like 3 or 4 letters on each key

I remember when I got my first qwerty phone. I hated typing on it. So much easier with my t9

I think that T9 was faster and more accurate than swipe typing on a touch screen, that could just be me, though.

I admit that I had to stare at that pic for a second longer than should have been necessary.

I want that payphone. But I am content with my Korean war field phone.
