I hate that it uses spaces instead of 0
Takes too long. Who has that second or two? I’ve typed the next two words in that time.
It reached a stage where I can type messages without looking at the phone ne at all. Tactile keys has it’s advantages too.
Yeah, silently texting during class with one hand. Those were good days. When I got a smart phone without keys I was pretty annoyed texting.
I could still read this from the numbers alone. I’m close to death aren’t I?
t9 was a gamechanger
You could seriously text without looking at your phone screen. It was awesome!
Eh. I never used it. I could type without looking without T9. T9 was faster, but then I had to pay attention to the predictions.
The first versions of t9 were entirely predictable and hardcoded so the words were always in the same order when pressing star. Later versions had some optimisations that mad it change, but it settled quite quickly to your writing style. I’m always surprised how few countries adopted t9… I’d Denmark literally everyone used t9. Even my mom. And you were weird if not using it. It wa also stupid fast to type on.
