When typing on a mobile, you have to press the same key a certain number of times to get the letter you want. If you then need another letter on that key you have to press across or wait half a second or so.
If the most common letter combinations are known (e.g. t followed by h) then the letters
could be scattered to allow the fastest possible typing.
*Can anyone think of a better category?*

Get a phone with predictive text. |
|
| |
I hate predictive text. It doesn't work, names especially. A QWERTY, like on a Blackberry, is actually much faster, especially with names. |
|
| |
That said, I think there's a Nokia that does this. |
|
| |
Pretty much every US provider has a BlackBerry mobile phone now that has a qwerty keyboard, pocket PC phones have those as well. |
|
| |
Maybe putting Qwerty in the title was misleading. I don't want a qwerty layout as such, but one designed to be the most efficient use of around 12 keys. |
|

Hmm, now playing around with predictive text. Suprised I haven't played with it before, but then I thought it was more like the way internet explorer completes urls. It seems to be good, but I still think an adjusted layout could be useful for people who dislike predictive text (not sure if I'm in that category at the moment). |

I'm not keen on predictive text. I used to be able to text one-handed without looking at the screen -- something I was able to learn easily because the phone had an ordered layout. |

Categories? How does 'Product: Cell Phone: Messaging: Input' suit you? |
|
| |
Bleh, cell phone. Oddly enough they are never called that by anyone I know. Thanks. |
|
| |
And no, I'm thinking of an ordinary mobile phone keypad, but with the letters all jumbled up (it sounds like such a good idea when I say it like that, don't you think?). |
