HTC S620 (Excalibur) and T9...

[CJNYC]

Does anybody know a way to install T9 or the newer version from the Dash on the S620? I really like the word-completion feature of my other smartphones and PPC's.

Thanks!

we'll probably have to wait until someone extracts the extrom of the dash rom

Careful what you wish for :)

why did you buy the S620 if it is to put T9 on it?
The only benefit of this smartphone is the full qwerty keyboard, it sounds a bit strange to want to restrict yourself to the numeric pad to type your messages?

It's actually the newer xT9, you're not restriced to the numeric keys -- it predicts as you're typing words with the qwerty keyboard. Future versions might be more useful, but I find it more of a hinderance now. There's no way to configure it or edit the dictionary, it kicks in when you don't necessarily want it to and memorizes passwords, as well as showing them while you're entering them. Where ever the dictionary resides, mine is full of typos and passwords. Would be nice if you could uninstall or just shut it off. You can press ALT then SPACE and switch to just letter entry, but at some point it'll come back...

I understand that T9 is directed more towards standard phone keyboards, but I use it on my Hermes all the time. When typing a long email, the word completion can save time.

I am super annoyed by wrong words being added to the T9 dictionary! :mad:

I tried using the msT9Ed.exe, but it seems to not find the correct file.

I did find a file called "eT9Cdb.cdb" in the Windows folder, but don't know if this is the right thing to edit.

Anyone found something lately to edit the T9 dictionary?
