What type of phone is easy to use to text?

Any phone that has a slide out qwerty keyboard or a virtual qwerty keyboard.  A qwerty keyboard is the standard keyboard format that you find on a laptop or a computer and is named as such because the top left keys spell out Q-W-E-R-T-Y.  There any phone like iPhone, Samsung Eternity, Samsung Impression, LG Vu, LG enV2, LG enV Touch, Samsung Glide, Samsung Instinct S30, Palm Pre, or LG Rumor2.  These phones are all either touch screen phones or have a slide-out qwerty keyboard.  

Texting is an integral part of a phone. I will like to answer your question in three parts. 1. If you have a big budget then you can go for the mobile phone that come with the "qwerty" key pads. These phones are easy if you handle them nice. Sometimes you may feel that the  keys are a bit crammed for your fingers and so you have to check them for yourself. The one that would suit for your fingers would be the best for you. 2. Then, if you have low budget then you have to zero in on any motorola mobiles as they come with predictive text. The basic difference that they have with other brands is that, they have this feature while the other brands have just predictive dictionary. In motorola when you start typing they show you the whole of the word that may happen with the letters. So at times you have to type just two or three letters of  a word and the whole word comes for you and after that you just right scroll to get the whole word. But with other brands who have the predictive dictionary option ..... you get the word after typing the whole of it. 3. Then there are mobiles that have good handwriting reconnition on whom you could just write words and they get converted to text. You use them if you are more comfortable in writing than typing. And look for more of the other features to find the best one for you.
