Enjoying my first days with the MPx, with the most difficult transition being adjusting to the text entry. My question is how do I add words to the dictionary?

I was trying to type to a friend that I had a "motorola" and could not get the message entered.

Use the T9 input method to input your word, when finished press the # key.

Follow up question...how do I use T9 when composing?

If you press and hold the # key it will take you thru the various input methods. abc is straight typing, abc is T9, and 123 is numeric. You will see it in the upper right hand corner

Correction to the above post, you need to press and hold the * key to change the input method.

The # key will take you to the symbol selection screen.

I wish the MPx220 had the same typing style as the V-series phones. The predictive TAP mode. I am horrible at using ITAP.

Thanks for the correction, that is what I meant to type! You get used to typing with it after a while!
