The processing powers and storage memories in mobile phones have improved by leaps and voice support. Infact mobile phones do come with limited amounts of voice processing capabilities as well. Why not have a speech interpreter built into the mobile phone which can be used to type the Messages for you instead of keying in the complete message. A short message too takes a long time to be written!

They are still under powered to do S2T. It is still not 100% on PCs yet, AFAIK. The voice recognition they now use is strictly comparing against stored patterens.

Text-to-speech and speech-to-text machine translation for cell phones already exists- for a fee.
