There are people that are faster using T9 than using a keyboard, just due to the practice effect. And remember, 500 words is a common essay length in school. That isn't short form text, but it's not particularly long form, either.

(because you can 'pre-plan' more keys with a keyboard, using 10 fingers) (I haven't done research on this though, so feel free to prove me wrong)
