cell phone predictive texting, faster?

Recently i got a new cell and i been doing the whole "lets text eachother thing" with a few girls that i know. I am the slowest person in the world when it comes to cell txting and so i checked out what other features were on my phone. I found a thing called T9 texting. It uses predictive text or atrleast i think thats what its called. Anyway should take the time to learn how to use it(and add vocab and what not)? It seems like it will take a while to get down, but will be dam fast later. basically down the line will i save time by using this?

t9 will improve your life quality. Sadly my motorola doesn't have it.

t9 gave me two extra inches and covered up my bald spot.

Hahahaha

Once you learn which words dont appear right, you can type them out and hit 0 to change them still faster than typing. The only shitty thing is that my phone can remember words (where you type the word out, then switch to T9, and the press the 0 key, so the phone "learns" the word) but it seems to forget them within the next day or two. I always have to switch to Abc to spell shit fuck and damn :cry:

this sort of thing is pretty dependent on the phone. I press # to change word and my phone never forgets words.

That may be the case, but my point was that my son of a bitch phone wont remember words for longer than two days.

The phone resets when plugged into the cigerette lighter of an H2.

Not true. It depends on the Model and who writes the software.

I have an MPX-220 running Windows Mobile 5.0 and T9 is a way of life on this phone.

EDIT: OOPS! I thought that read "Sadly, Motorola doesn't have it" and I completely missed the MY. My bad. And yes, T9 rules.

Yeah the new phones have a "learning" t9 program. very cool.


At least those of us with cell phones that don't have a keyboard can text just as fast.

Motorola have been too cheap to license t9 for most of their products, instead they made their own 'itap' software. I opted to turn this off and type manually.

I have a Motorola and sometimes it gives you "options" of words, but most of the time, I just type it out... it's faster for me that way (I know my alphabet, so I can type fast).

Just buy a treo.

Am I the only one that likes iTap? I don't think it's bad at all. Beats typing everything manually!

glad to hear it, the most obvious advantage i can see is the not having wait when you type in double letters. Also i love the avatar :P that guys made me laugh pretty hard :P

if youre doing double letters you can press the over key to instantly advance the curser so you don't have to wait...
