Are you familiar with predictive texting? I'm not sure how to use this feature but I am still figuring it out. Do you have any idea?

yeah yeah just start punching the numbers that have the letters in the word and the phone will guess what word your spelling and take the right letters!

It makes typing on the phone a hella lot faster than the old school method.

yeah i used to detest it since it would always offer words i didn't want to use...now with the new phone it suggests words based on what i've previously written.

yeah i noticed that as well. It's a pretty nifty feature and even if it's the wrong word you just have to hit down on the control pad until you get to the word you want.

It's getting better but don't trust it! The minute you do it sends off complete jiberish to make you look like a fool.
