No need to get attitude. Yes that is better. Am I happy? yes, but not because of this!
I only made the comment to avoid dissapointment (again) when people see the thread title and get excited only to find out it this nothing whatsoever to do with T9 because people have been wanting T9 on P800 since before the P800 was released.
I just did some research...and :
In fact you were wrong, T9 is actually a product of Tegic Communications. T9 is just a trade name for software that allows predicitve text input...using a keyboard or other devices
Go to
www.t9.com and you will see that is also availble for product like PocketPc what means not using a keypad...
From t9.com : "T9 Sloppy Type for Pocket PCs. Sloppy Type is the next generation of text input for touch screen devices. It combines the ease and familiarity of typing on a soft QWERTY keyboard with the power of T9’s predictive/adaptive text input, along with the capability of handling sloppy or haphazard touches to the keyboard."

If there's a firmware version with the T9 feature, but there isn't...

lol! now you are grasping at straws just to try and prove me wrong. Of course I know who developed T9 as I have done several relevant contracts in the telecommunications industry and have had contact with tegic in relation to some work I did at cable and wireless.
I really didn't want to get into an argument and I am not sure why you do but picking a recent side product from tegic for pocketpc that is not even available yet and making an issue that because that exists T9 includes keyboard input is a very flimsy argument.
Everyone knows that T9 is exactly what I described in my first reply here and it is precicely that T9 which everyone wants in the P800. The fact that the same company wants to branch out and make a new product which really has no relation to the original T9 as implemented in hundreds of mobile phones has nothing to do with this argument, and of course they are going to include T9 in the name because thats what they are known for and its what they are famous for so people will instantly recognise it, but it is purely marketing.
Looking at their website this T9 sloppy type gets a brief mention while everything else about the site is to do with T9 as it is generally understood, including all the demos in all the languages available.
As a side note, T9 sloppy type is very much like the microsoft word facility called auto correct where you can enter words that you regularly miss spell and it corrects them for you and with the small virtual keyboard on the ipaq that might be worth closer inspection.
Anyway, lets just agree to disagree rather than continuing this as I am not the argumentative type really (to friendly for that!). Instead... let other people decide with replies here if it is really important to you.
edit: xtokiyax, no, T9 is not available in firmware for P800

I am happy you just give me right ! lolll
That new T9 product will be much more powerfull there it not only use the small capability of of keypad but the much easyer and advanced possibility of a (virtual) keypad...
And like i said, you prove me also right that T9 is not a term used for predective text ONLY on keyboard, it 's just a Tradename for 1 specific application from 1 specific firm...

Everyone?? just for you to know that SE said 60% of average P800 user don't have the flip on it...
It's then only 40% from the people who COULD be interrested in such a only keypad T9, and of that part, i wich to know who still write something with the keypad! loll 2%??
I have my flip and since 3 years (R380s) i never used the keypad to write something.. it 's soooo much easyer to use the virtual keyboard or the handwrittting. In fact that new product is the real one i expected!
If the P900 doesn't have that possibilty, then it is useless for the most of the users

I love this new application now lets hope that it is also going to be availible with handwriting instead of the keyboard.and A Dutch language would be even better.

Tried this predictive text app - works really well. Has anyone seen any information on how to add words that are not in the apps dictionary? May be this will come in the next release.

Predictive text with buttons is way faster, and that's why I want it. It's less frustrating also than having to repeatedly scribble letters

it's forbidden to use a phone in a car without carkit, don't even speak about writing an sms while riding ! the guy doing that just a murderer on the road...
BTW 60% of people use the P800 whitout flip...
Are you serious? do you really still use the keypad to write sms or mails???
This was good in de jurassic time of the gsm (aka Nokia time
loll) with the P800 you have a phone from the present and even the future, use it for what he is make : using the touchscreen
