Have you tried using the predictive text feature on your cellphone?
I didn't have an idea that it's much easier than the standard way of texting.
I found a quick tutorial for it.... www.t9.com/learn

Im faster with out it:)
I used to be fast without too but then i just got lazy and prefer to use T9 now. I'd give you a race if i could to see who was fastest but i don't think that is possible, i'd win anyway
I've got a full qwerty keyboard on my phone now though :-). I type faster than the letters appear on the screen
T9 is shit, yes it is. Turn it off and type like blazes when texting. People always look at me funny and ask why i'm not looking at the phone as i text.
it used to be a bit of a pain on my samsung because even when i entered a new word into the dictionary, it would never recognise it again.
I didn't need to look at the phone with t9 on
haha i text like that, not all the those words you used
same here! but i normally forget and carry on writing when i could just press whatever it is you press to insert the predicted word.
Mine sends the message before I even think about it :razz:
haha! , i want one!
Im much faster without it , i can text without looking and i usually get the "OH MY GOD HAVE U SEEN HIM TEXT?!?!" *large crowd is summoned*
=].
i usually text without looking in lessons , stops me from getting caught
hah ! tell that to my last phone that would spell random words instead of the ones i actually wanted !
Sending text messages full of gibberish could have made me look stupid ! :razz: ah sod it i'm daft anyway what would have been the difference
You just have to know what order your word comes in the list. For example, Im (I can't spell apostrophe, therefore I do not use them... in texts) is 46right (go is the first option) home is 4663right (good is first) pee is 733right right right. (see, red pdf, then pee)
I'm just got a new phone though and the order is all different and it gets on my nerves. (i'm a drivers nightmare
I'd much rather do that then say 44666right633.
Anyhoo, is it just me who immediately thought that the original post was a spammer trying to promote a website? T9's been around for ages; I wouldn't have thought that you could buy a phone without it these days.
Speaking while driving without a hands free headset is illegeal in several towns I drive thru to get to work or the gym or wherever and I have lost my ear piece.
I like texting. I'll call when needed but just to say Hi or to warn someone to thinka bout what they want for dinner while I"m on my way home... both have their purposes. You don't alway need to speak to the person, but also, on the other side, sometimes you do.
.. and txting while driving isn't? It is over here...
TBH Honest I use it occasionally for those short message like "on my way", but I much prefer the sound of someone's voice. besides I can have a longer conversation in a shorter timeframe.
