Elliot Nicholls -- fastest blindfolded texter on the planet

Just in from Yahoo News Australia:

17 year old Elliot Nicholls from Dunedin, New Zealand, has become the Guinness Book of Records newest world champion for texting blindfolded.

No mention of what handset he used.

Elliott twice broke the previous record texting a 160 character message blindfolded in 51 seconds and then 45 seconds.

The old record was set by an Italian at one minute 23 seconds.

Nice one Elliot!
