T9...do you think it's more convenient?

Danalana wrote: Almost everybody uses T9 for texting, but it frustrates the pee out of me. I seriously get so mad when I'm on a roll and look up to see that several of the words I meant to say are different. Like "in" instead of "go". Or "good" instead of "home", and the lost goes on. By the time I fix all of that, I could have texted the regular way and been done. I'm thinking of switching. Anybody else?

msoulz replied: I love T9 because it does get most words right. And it gives choices for the stuff you are talking about. I think it's much faster than tapping it all out!

Danalana replied: Yes, it gives choices if you are watvhing to make sure everything is right. if you're just tapping away for speed, there are all kinds of errors. By the time I correct mine, I could have done it the old way and then taken a nap!

Kaitlin'smom replied: most times I like it its faster for me than tapping it all out, as long as I am spelling/typing it right

Calimama replied: I like doing each word myself.

Anthony275 replied: my phone lets me type it out manually, but if im on msn or anything like that it's T9

A&A'smommy replied: okay am I dumb?? Whats t9?

mckayleesmom replied:
me too

Kaitlin'smom replied: its a setting on your cell phone that basically searches for words as you type, instead of tapping for each letter, like if you want f normally you have to tap the 3 three times to get it with this you tap once and go onto the next letter. make sence?

A&A'smommy replied: oh yeah but I thought it was called something else I don't use mine because its faster for me to type it myself

msoulz replied:
This is true - you have to watch while you are tapping. And you do have to know how to spell too!

MoonMama replied:
Same here I don't like T9 mode.


Dana that would explain some of your text messages. No I'm totally kidding hun!
