T9 predictive text...
T9 predictive text...
I'm not sure if everyone in here is using cellphones but then I still want to ask if you are familiar with t9 predictive text. I had a few friends who constantly use it.

I use it all the time. In fact I've just sent my wife a message asking her to tell of what time she's coming good.
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
He jested, quaff'd and swore."

But I guess you gotta filter out the spambots.

I like the predictive text...and it's faster (for me, at least) to hit "next" and get the word I want than to type out the entire word by hand. On my phone (like Steve's) "good" comes up if I type 4663, so to get "home" I type 46630 (the 0 is the "next" button). To do it by hand would take typing 46666663.
My last phone had a dictionary that would remember any word you manually spelled out, so that it could be predicted later. I wish my current phone did that.

they don't all do that..my current phone is super-cheap, because I was not able to buy it at a discount without extending my service agreement. It lacks some amenities. It's my understanding that you guys across the pond have a much better ability to get cheap phones because of the whole sim-card thing makes it hard for cell phone service providers to link service to phones.
You guys can buy a new phone, pop in your coded chip, and away you go...most providers here don't give us that luxury. So, our phones are outrageoulsy expensive unless we also buy contracted (for a couple years or so) phone service with them.

Texting is considerably cheaper than calling, under some calling plans. Also, you can often send texts to email addresses, and vice versa.Flyingcursor wrote:I use my phone for.....*GASP* Phone calls. I reserve text messages for emails.
