Nah I’m 50. T9 was necessary, not some kind of miracle.
Had a nokia 3310, had a flip phone, did not like T9. The predictive nature was aweful and never got me to like it before I got a slide keyboard phone.
Predictive nature? I remember just spelling every word out.
that was the other mode, where you just tap "777" for R for example, T9 predictive had a dictionary to match the word so "weed" became 9333, instead of 933>33>3.
Yeah, everyone i know turned off or ignored the prediction crap back in the day.
Yep.
Thank you!! 👌
