i guess it's a matter of getting used to it. i decided to take
the plunge years ago to "migrate" from normal input to t9.. and i'm
using nokia, where the dictionary will learn words that are not in
the dictionary, like "toa payoh" where i live.
otherwise, if i need to type a word that i know is not in the dict,
i'll press # a couple of times to turn of the dict mometarily.
