Yes Amro, I use one hand, find it easier and quicker than two. However, others might differ and prefer two.

Cheers, Amro ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara wilson To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:01 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Spell Word announcement Steve I am using an E71 which of course has a qwerty keypad. I am not sure why you say predictive text is not used or of any benefit on these phones. Surely anything which cuts down on the number of key presses needed is a good thing? I too have never liked qwerty phones, but having now used an E71 for several weeks now realise how fantastic and easy to use they ar. But I do recognise its a matter of personal preference as I hated them for so long. I think they ar easier to use now than the first ones and in addition to that, I am more confident at giving it a go.

The QWERTY keyboards don't use predictive. Predictive only kicks in if you use the front panel. I don't like QWERTY keyboards on phones, they are too small.
