I've been using it ever since I started using mobile phones. In fact, I judge and choose a phone by its T9 implementation. Apparently, brands differ: for example, on some phones, punctuation isn't handled intuitively, which on Nokia it is. I'm very glad that there is such an advocacy to promote the use of predictive text input on mobile phones. It's alarming, this text-speaking generation's downward spiralling proficiency in English (and Pilipino, for that matter). While SMS might not be the sole culprit, I fear that it is contributing to the overall effect. It's commendable that you wrote about this, Jayvee! I adore T9!!!

But personally, i can compose a text message with everything i need in less than 160 characters.
