So T9 has a little website about itself and they have these interactive flash games on them, teaching you how to use it.
www.textfast.t9.com So i tried it and I was supposed to type "concert". Instead, I ended up with "bomb". I suck at this.

Give it time, buddy. My mom, 60 years old, had never even handled a phone until last year, yet even she is sending text messages like it's going out of fashion...

don't worry about it mate, I can use both equally as fast but prefer manual input over T9 anyway.
they are both just as easy/quick when you can use them (sending on average 40 texts per day helps)
just use what you feel comfortable with
p.s. welcome to Esato! & a nice little site you found there.

T9 is good but the predictive input on the windows mobile devices is better IMHO.
I don't write many text messages but I do write alot of emails and I have never understood why T9 has not been extended to actually show word prediction in the same way since they already have the dictionary on board

I guess I've just never really understood how T9 thinks. The site tries to explain it, basically it pre-empts you and tries to guess what will come next based on a whole bunch of calculations. It all seems really cool. Now if only i could get something like that that could help me find my keys....
and thanks for the welcome

There is a better way to not only input text, but also to input without even actually touching a keyboard... It's called a WIFE who is my best friend, secretary, and the love of my life. Oh, and she finds my keys too :-) By the way, Masseur, in which way is the predictive setup better than T9? I haven't had the opportunity, as yet, to spend much time playing around with one of those neat devices.

I really hate t9. Never got used to it and i can sms very fast using manual input, so it isnt a problem.

well I'm not a fast typer, so I might just give T9 a chance. There are a few games on that site which might help me familiarize myself with the program. Hopefully I won't get too frustrated
