Missing the pauses needed to start the next letter sure stumped my translation progress.

Looks like classic phone keypad (T9-style) text 😊
Decoded message:
“yeah i really miss spelling things of like this. those were the days.”
(There are a couple small typos in the sequence—“ov lile” → “of like”)

My phone had a keyboard because I was just so darn cool.
Released two years later, expensive as hell, still had a touchscreen. The blackberry was always an option.

It doesn't wtf you have a browser that downloads pdfs instead of opening them?
Mobile browser, yeah. I have to approve it, but still.
Well if you are on android waterfox will solve that problem.
Can somebody please decode this?
