Hey guys,

I have an O2 Atom and I am really happy with the phone, however I'd really love to find a new way to input text without using the stylus.

Basically, I'm looking for software that would allow me to use the phone to write text messages like I would with a keypad and have t9 style predictive text etc.

I hope what I'm after is clear enough and look forward to any suggestions you may have.

Cheers

I don't know about the Atom, but the JAMin comes with a T9 predictive text input method that's sized nicely for fingers and thumbs. If you don't have that, I recommend TenGO Thumb (http://www.tengo.net/tengo_thumb.html).

Fitaly (http://www.fitaly.com/) is also worth a shot. It takes a little while to get used to, but after that phase, you'll love it.

But, IIRC, that takes a stylus, which makes it a two-handed input method. I can't think of anything that might fit except maybe Tengo Thumb, which does the T9-style word prediction pretty well.

Call me odd, but I actually operate Fitaly with one hand. 8O

You're right, though. Fitaly is designed for two-handed use. TenGO is a better one-handed alternative.
