Heh heh heh. My wife is finding predictive text very difficult just now, because she’s got my last phone – so I’ve added lots of frequently used words to the dictionary. Most of which are swear words.

With predictive texting I think most people are used to having to look at the screen when typing… otherwise it’s nothing but “he” when you meant “if”, and “aunt” when you meant…, well, you get the idea.

Maybe I’m weird, but I look at the screen when I use my phone. And my computer too. I’m looking at the screen right now!

XDA was all right. Clunky and unreliable, but all right.

I´m still not convinced about the iphone. I´m surprised you want one after having a XDA. Touchscreen phones are atrocious. Other than the mess they get into after about 4 seconds of use – text input is utterly impossible without having to look at the screen.
