I honestly think trace-style keyboards could eliminate 'text slang' entirely. Since it's actually FASTER to write correctly and they auto-capitalize, I wouldn't be at all surprised if once these types of keyboards become more commonplace things like "r u here?" will go away.
I also tend to type full sentences, but I don't think "txt slang" will go away because I have the 160 character limit. Even if I have unlimited txt, the recipient may not and I usually try not to spill over into another message.
I only wish there was a way I could swype everything. But I still have to tap out stuff sometimes like numbers, acronyms, passwords (I dont really want that in the dictionary).
Also, I wish it was easier to go back and edit txt. my finger is too big to place the cursor where I want and using the optical pad is slow. Maybe we'll get the magnify glass like in the browser someday. ofcourse thats not a swype thing.
