I've often wondered why T9 didn't automatically finish off the word you are typing - like the AutoComplete feature on Pocket PC's. I would love to see this made available as a download for Smartphones. I don't want to have to buy a new device to get a new input method! :)

Motorola's iTap does the same thing - and works well on my MPX220 Windows-Smartphone.

The C500 / SMT5600 already does most of this, doesn't it?
Type "8666" (tomo, for tomorrow) and you can add a word (tomorrow). Next time it should appear at/near the top of the list so you can select it easily.

Am I missing something?

[Mike Temporale]

I see the difference being that this new method already has all the words loaded in it. So you don't have to add every word you ever tap out. ;)

I whish this becomes available for download.

By the way, does anyone knows if there is a way to add Spanish to the Audiovox smt on cingular?

The only languages included are french, German and English.

I don't know. I don't think I've heard of anyone adding a language. If you change the locale setting under regional settings, does it change the available languages? It's just a guess. :?

If I change locale, the T9 langue stays the same, exept if I chooce France of Germany then it changes to French or German.

But if I choose Spain or PR the language stays in English. It is frustrating I need to write SMS and email in Spanish.
