I'm just curious, how many Talks compatible phones do you have?

I think your 4th letter should be a C and not an L. Excellent discussion though. Getting me really interested in trying out my e71 even more.

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.
