Yes i know what you mean, Tegic (i think) hold the licence for their t9 invention so i don`t think you will see it imerge as a free software, i would imagine the phone makers are very keen to get out of it & the lack of it on the p8 mght be financial. |

It's not a problem, since U can write with the handwriting recognition. It's pretty fast, and better experience for me. But perhaps you'll stick to T9...
As as the keypad is ugly, you'll have it removed => Flip Open mode, so no T9 (except with the virtual keyboard) !! |

the lack of t9 support really sucks, can you imagine yourself when ur clubbing to get the p800 out of your pocket and take the flip of and write with ur stylus... it's not handy at all... |

Yes, the lack of t9 is really a disadvantage for P800.... |

But you can write normal style, right? I mean, pressing 2 twice for b and so on? or only with handwriting or virtual keyboard? |

Xbone! Yes, you have actually 3 ways to write. Pressing the keyboard(multitap), handwriting recognition and the virtual keyboard. BUT the phone has open options to choose other text-input programmes, so it's ready for 3.rd party apps. In the mode where you choose primary text-input, there is an open field to choose from that says "none" as default. |

There is a new input method but I don't remember its name. You press 426 or 729 for A, like the letters shape. I'll write the web address when I find it.
