It’s that time again folks. LG is back with the fastest texter competition at the LG Mobile World Cup, being held tomorrow, January the 26th at the Gotham Hall in New York City. Participants from sixteen countries will compete to break the Guinness World Record for speed texting and accuracy, from a mobile device of course, to win a top prize of $100,000 US.
Remember the young lady from last year, texting champion Brianna Hendrickson, well she will be back this year. This time she has a little more competition. It will be interesting to see if she can take the record home again this year.
Here are the details:
- Participating teams will compete to gain the title of the “World’s Fastest Texters” for texting on a QWERTY mobile phone
