      I’ve been thinking lately how cool it would be to type via T-9 on PC via the numpad. Game-changer for HTPC duties.

        but would you want it flipped to suit the numpad layout? personally i’d be happy with flipping the whole numpad to a phone dialler layout.

      Fuck yeah, I miss being able to send messages without looking at my phone, or even removing it from my pocket.

          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.
