To the people working at Ericsson, would you please try to improve the way to type SMS with T9, especially in french !!!
Everybody knows that the T68 is very slow, but what is really annoying, is the fact that I have to type about three times more for the same word, compare to my old Siemens S35i...!!!

For example, in french, we use quite a lot the word "c’est" (english translation : it’s)
With the Siemens S35i, I had to press :
- 2 once (result on the screen : à)
- "dot" once (result on the screen : c’)
- 3 once (result on the screen : c’d)
- 7 once (result on the screen : c’es)
- 8 once (result on the screen : c’est) and that’s all !
Total keys pressed : 5

Now with the T68 :
- 2 once (result on the screen : à)
- 0 three times (result on the screen : c)
- # once (result on the screen : c.)
- 0 five times (result on the screen : c’)
- 3 once (result on the screen : c’d)
- 7 once (result on the screen : c’es)
- 8 once (result on the screen : c’est)
Total keys pressed : 13

That’s really a huge difference for a simple word like this one !! And in french, we use the apostrophe very often...
Many thanks in advance if you’re able to do something in the next software release... (and if you don’t know how, ask by Siemens...)
Regards

It is not only the French its English as well. On my Nokia a word like don't you just typed the punctuation key and the T9 figured it out. On the T68 you have to either drop the apostrophe or you have to type three words don ' and t. Its a pain and should be a simple fix
