The Second Annual LG National Texting Competition has come to a close in the States, with one victor crowned in their quest for "fast and furious" thumbs.

Beating more than 15,000 entrants, Nathan Schwartz, a 20-year-old Clyde, Ohio resident, took home the whopping $50,000 in prize money and - adds LG - "indisputable bragging rights for his speed-texting skills".

The winning phrase was "Does everybody here know the alphabet? Let's text. Here it goes ... AbcDeFghiJKlmNoPQrStuvWXy & Z! Now I know my A-B-C's, next time won't you text with me?" which Schwartz completed in 60 seconds.
