T9 when writing sms / email?

[Phat^Trance]

does anyone know if its possible to get a "normal" T9 keyboard when writing emails or sms? instead of the default qwerty keyboard.

my iphone is jailbroken

Would love to see this happen, but as of right now I do not think their is a way or keyboard app like that. I asked this a few months back, but no one ever came up with anything.

Why in the world would you want a T9 keypad when you have a QWERTY keyboard at your disposal? That's like going from OS X back to DOS. People pay extra for handsets with a QWERTY keyboard because it allows for much easier and more accurate text entry than T9.

i used to be more comfortable with t9 and wanted it as well but after 3 years of the iphone keyboard I dont think id install this if someone created it anymore.

As I do not totally disagree with you XFF, some people...including myself have used and really prefer a t9 keyboard. Throw in auto complete like the one that Haykuro made for the MT3G and its awesome when typing or texting on the go. I like the iphone's full QWERTY, don't get me wrong, but with the option to choose between keyboards...it would make this phone even better

i actually love the HTC magic keyboard...i like how it brings up a list of words that it thinks ur trying to type and u dont even have to finish the word just hit space or tap the word you want..i wish there was an iphone keyboard like this lol

There is T9App in the App Store for $1.99. You have to copy and paste your text into the SMS message window when done.

Here's another one - Keypad 2, with T9 go to http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keypad-2/id510282920
No copy and pasting required... not 100% perfect but pretty good versus some of the other Apps like it...
