Texting on iphone - not qwerty

[-crazylegs-]

Can't find the answer to this question anywhere. I like the iphone4 but I text a lot and have always been frustrated when trying to use the qwerty keypad.

Is there any way, either a setting or an app, to have a 'normal' keypad to text from on the iphone?

I.e. 12 buttons with predictive text, like a phone pad. Just to be clear. It may sound ridiculous to some but it is the main reason I haven't got one up till now!

Personally i think it's ridiculous, but have a look here : http://iphonehelp.in/2009/05/21/multi-tap-keyboard-brings-t9-to-the-iphone-ipod-touch/

Forget QWERTY (made for typewriters) and T9 (made for numerical keys) and go for text input made for touchdisplay: http://itunes.apple.com/se/app/intextive-clipboard/id383451893?mt=8

Your problem is you haven't learned to touch type on a QWERTY keyboard.
