I'm in on that. And while we're at it, why not make them release a SW that makes it possible to write mails with the actual key flip, and t9.

Is there a person who would gladly write an impressive letter requesting T9? Volunteers?

First we need to find out where to send it. And it has to be very impressively written. I'll sign on it, that's for sure.

The T68i and current models with predictive use Sony's own version of predictive text.
I'm hoping that Sony's predictive input can be ported to UIQ.

I agree that the P800 does NEED the T9, maybe some of you enjoy the handwriting recognition, but it is a bit of a hassle...
I think for such an "advanced" piece of technology, it's a bit dumb that they didn't include something as "ancient" as T9 |

Personally i think it`s a bit of a nineties fix & as phones are likely to have voice recognision text input soon, it makes all hand input modes look silly.
A voice input app could even be in the pipeline for p8 ?????

isn't a big part of the appeal of sms that you can send messages silently, without disturbing people around you? if you're going to dictate your message to someone on the phone, why not just call them? it'd probably be cheaper..
i'd be surprised if they ever develop that level of voice recognition, it'd be costly on hardware (i doubt even the p800 has that sort of processing power) and the applications of it would be pretty few and far between. |

text messaging by voice recognition does seem a bit daft!! I am often in places where i cant make a phone call but can text.
What is next, a piece of software for mobile phones that translates your t9 input (obviously not on the p800) and converts it to voice so you can have a phone conversation with someone without actually speaking?!?!? |

Sms is also about reading a message at the recievers convenience, & a voice input sms can still be READ silently & you would still have the option to tap in a message silently if you wanted, same as in car when its a bit shakey you could speak the message in.
Anyway, i have no problem whatsoever with your plight to get t9 on the p800.
The only reason i added comments on this thread was because the title & comments in Bloomp`s first post was an unfair statement on people like me,i HAVE a p8, i WAS quick on t9 & LIKE the qwerty input.
If you want to stop me having my say then why not title the post,
"who wants to see T9 on the p800"

dictating a message by voice to someone that can't take a call... is that not kind of like leaving a voicemail message? i just don't see the point in this sort of voice recog in phones. compared to the massive investment it would take- in r&d for the phone builders, and sheer hardware costs to the users (both in terms of price and phone-bulk)- the actual usage would be minimal.
i don't have a p800, and i've got no plans to get one. but unless phones are about to start reading your mind, and as long as they do still have keypads, i'd expect t9 in any new phone. |

@Boinng, well then you are the kind of person Bloomp was refering to when he said about people having opinions about p800 needing T9 when they hav`nt even got the phone.
Are you seriously saying that if you bought a p800 & discovered it had a faster way to input text than T9 that you would`nt be happy & satisfied like me ?
You say "while phones still have keypads they should have T9"
The p800 HASN`T got a physical keypad if you use it flip removed, the virtual keypad lacks feel so using t9 on it would`nt be like on a traditional phone. however i find the qwerty keyboard great for text input.
You say vioce input is silly because its just as easy to send a vioce mail, ha ha i send emails on my p800 & your suggesting it would be as easy to send text to a PC using voicemail are you ?
This phone is a NOW phone,if your stuck in the last decade then use an 8310 Nokia. It`s quite simple stay away from the P800.

what pisses me off is when you get a new sms you look in your inbox and all the sms's are still closed, so you are like: "woah, i have a lot to read...." and then you realise it's just the P800's retarded software.....
AND IT'S NOT THAT I CAN'T SEE THE BOLD, I JUST THINK THAT AN OPEN ENVELOPE IS EASIER................................

No... it's just the retarded owner unable to read the software. New sms are bold while previous messages are normal font.
