HI Steve it feels even shorter with the querty keypad. because the word
chocolate would mean 4 key presses. For exampleby the time you have typed in
half of the word you would have pressed 4 keys C, h, o, l, and the rest of the
word would have been completed. That's 4 key presses to 9 presses on the
numeric keypad.

Hi Barbara,
Because you will text even faster if you learn it.
Let's consider the word Chocolate. Just one word. To type that without
predictive, you would type this:- (Note that I have spaced between the letters
for clarity only.
222 44 666 222 666 555 2 8 33
Bring predictive into the mix, and you type:-
2 4 6 2 6 5 2 8 3
So instead of 18 key presses you actually perform 9.
The way predictive works is this. You hit each letter only once. If the word
is wrong that it guesses, you press Star to cycle through the words. So for
example, Good and Home have the same numbers, 4 6 6 3. If you just type 4663,
you will get Good. If you want home, just press Star. Now that has to be
better than typing 4 666 666 3 for Good, doesn't it?
Come on people, give it a try, you may even find you like it. In fact I reckon
most of you are frightened of it that don't like it <Smile>.
All the best
Steve

I never got the hang of it either. Probably could if I bothered to try. Guess
I'm just to lazy. But if you can text quick enough without it then why put
yourself to the effort!

Hi Angela if you have a querty keypad then pridictive texting is
brilliant.
I use to struggle with it when I had a numeric keypad phone.
