Don't see what the fuss is about -the virtual qwerty keyboard is genius if you ask me...
I mean, with the flip keyboard, who on earth would want to use that for the composition of SMS etc??

well considering the P800 is not exactly just a phone but a phone cum PDA, and considering using the flip buttons are difficult to press in the 1st place, so i find, I dont think there ever will be T9 for this phone from SE.
I couldnt even imagine trying to txt constantly with the flip on (get urself a REAL phone for those txt addicts), I nearly always open the flip coz wotever bozo designed the SMS software on the phone should be shot coz I have found that if ur recipitent has more than 1 number, the phone seems 2 select the number for u even if u mite want to chose between the numbers like on the T68i!
Also a linked issue with this is I dont file numbers as mobile(h) and mobile(w) coz when I sync with Outlook it only saves 1 mobile number! I dont know where they got their programmers from, cloud cookoo land mayb...

The handwriting recognition is cool (if not as good as Palms or even (shudder) Microsoft's). However try writing an SMS with one hand while driving (not that I would ever fo anything illegal like that!) On-screen text entry is not used in the same environments as one-handed key-based text entry.
Multitap text entry is really painful once you've got used to one-handed text entry with T9, and there's no reason why SE cannot add T9 to its text entry list (the OS can handle it). Isn't the P800 meant to be the most flexible of phones, after all?
