Treo 600-T9 predictive text?

[JoeUk]

does the handspring treo 600 contain T9 predictive text function?

No it doesn't, but you really don't need it due to the excellent keyboard. SMS is a real strong point on the 600, as you can retain ongoing converstaions (over weeks if you want) using it's "chat" function. Loved it!

Yup, the chat thread function is very cool indeed. Now, I remember a few years ago having a predictive text application (I dont think it was based on t9 though), that as you typed suggested words on a little drop down menu - it was pretty good too. I have no idea what it was called though, I'll have a hunt around, it would be brilliant to have that function on my Treo!

on my Treo 600 (through Sprint) it's unclear how people are meant to chat with me. So I don't know how to tell them to reach me. So far, only one friend has been able to send a message through using only my phone number, but others not. Anyone have any experience with the Sprint system or is there a way to override that and chat. What sort of chat do you have on the Silver (non Sprint) Treo?

....does sound like a "Sprint" issue rather than a "chat" issue. In the UK anyone on a network (there are 3) can text to anyone on another, and I never had a single problem...

I'd pick it up with Sprint if I were you.....

I suppose you could have a falt with your Treo...
