The D-pad is a leftover interface  which is usually never used for anything that requires accuracy.  If you send alot of text ( as opposed to sending voice text instead ) I recommend investing in the plug in qwerty keyboard for the controller.. its just the right size and works great. 

You can also plug in any USB keyboard and use that for messaging, including MSN. I hate the d-pad too so I bought a mad-catz fightpad, pretty good for those XBLA games.
