I never gave T9 a chance to ON because of my language. Is there any word in Bahasa Indonesia in T9 dictionary? I don't think so.
I always use English language menu in my SE phones (cuz menu in Bahasa Indonesia sucks!) but typing sms mostly in Bahasa Indonesia. It never cross my mind to set T9 ON even if T9 is available in Bahasa Indonesia cuz I often use many "slank" words in my language...

I think the ability to store new words not in the dictionary differs from phone to phone.... I wish t9 had an "add word to dictionary option" would be great...especially for slang words and stuff....

Well, the only thing I find it usefull is that it helps you with misspelling the words. But it doesn't correct your grammar.

Lol!!
T9 was never intended as a product to improve one's grammar!
Isn't there a competitor to T9? Somethin called ezitap?
Used on moto phones i think..

I love T9 and always use it to create text. I even add punctuation and capital letters where appropriate.
I add place names to the Insert Word option, especially as many place names in NZ are in maori.
When I find a compound word that flumoxes the T9 dictionary, I use T9 to spell half the word, press the joystick and spell the other half.
Its quicker than the multi-tap alternative.

Well I think I'm getting better at this whole T9 thing. Recently my phone has been acting up, and it's really hard to take calls on it, and I've been texting instead. I've gotten noticeably faster using T9 in the past week, which is kinda cool

So many people shun T9 without giving it a go, or a very limited go. Multitap is not as quick but it is logically easier to use. Some people get anxious that what they tap looks visually wrong until the word is complete - and herein lies the problem for T9.

i end up only using certain words because of the frustration of trying to get some of them.
T9 still works for me though. |

I always shut off t9 on my phones as it never works for me and can type faster manually.. Esp. When texting as I text in 3 languages ... |
