Hi, I am a new user to
A) this web site
and
B) this Phone. 5 days so far.....

I dont know if my topic heading is quite correct but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

This phone seems to have so many names, anyhow, mine is on Orange here in the UK and called a SPV M3100

Right, only thing that gets on my nerves a bit with this phone is there is no
T9 "predictive text input" like I am and have been used to with Nokia phones for the last 7 or so years.

What I mean is, you all know how you write a text message on a Nokia with predictive texting. using just your thumb etc.

What I am after is, is there some software / program I can download that would make the screen like a keypad within the send SMS program. so it is easier to text.

Because unless I am mssing something. The only way to text on the ORANGE version is either with the slide out keypad, or with the virtual keypad and stylus ???

Thank you for reading this and perhaps you can advice me.

To get T9 with a normal style phone looking interface you can install the PhonePad application which is available here on this site (its linked in the Hermes Wiki):
ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/Phone%20Pad%20-%20English%20Only.CAB

You can also use the Block Recognizer, Onscreen Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, Symbol Pad and Transcriber as well as the slide out keyboard on a standard M3100.. In fact I think the options are the same as any Hermes?
