Anyone uses the T9 feature?

What is T9?

My thoughts exactly... Predictive text is a pain right in my arse, I hate it. Much faster (For me, anyway) using the normal way of doing things.

I've just had to ask Miss Jaffa Cake if 'T9' is the same thing as 'predictive texting'.

Yes, I do. Makes it easier for my wizened old fingers to keep up with the youngsters and their texting.

Try using it when pissed. The resulting message in your sent items in the morning is hilarious.

Hee, that comprises about 90% of my text usage. But since I have a full keyboard I tend to obsessively spell everything perfect.

Yes, of course. I didn't "get" it at first, but once I'd activated it and gave it a go, it made so much sense. Five years on, couldn't do without it.

I find my little QWERTY keyboard much easier to use and far faster.

Will be getting the E70 next month, probably.

(I had to think for a minute on how to spell QWERTY...)

Wow, fab for texting. Texting is that phones reason for existing, so it's got to be good. Never seen one of those.

Oh, and T9 rocks. I think it should automatically learn the names of the people in your address book, though.

Well I know this sounds dorky and geeky, but does anyone here uses the T9 dictionary on their phone

Yes as well as predictive text.

I felt this way at first too...I actually still sort of feel this way, but have gotten used to it mostly. And it does seem to have a fairly large word list.

The only thing that always irks me is why they do not design it to use names stored in your phone book as part of the autocomplete word list. It learns names, but it would be obvious and easy, and very helpful, if my phone already "knew" all my friends' names.
