That's exactly what Christina Sales Ancines, 20, and Jennifer Sales Ancines, 15, have done at the second annual LG Mobile Worldcup where the Panama duo beat 30 other contestants from around the world to walk away with US$100,000 and ultimate street cred.

Korea was placed second and Brazil third in the finals which were held at Gotham Hall in New York City January 26. Contestants had to punch in phrases that appeared on nearby LG plasma displays without making any mistakes or using abbreviations on the Chocolate BL20 and Town GT350 handsets.

At the competition, Cheong Kit Au from Australia also broke the Guinness World Record by typing out a 264-character text in 1 minute 17 seconds on a QWERTY device--a whopping 43 seconds faster than previous record holder Pedro Matias.
