Ah, so not a super-phone with a huge screen. The longer the
message, the more I am in need of a large (tall) screen and
possibilities to scroll easily... not to mention a keyboard.

short words like 'et' and 'du' (same two buttons in T9). Though:
I thought T9 was tuned to a language? You have a phone with
English T9 or is it universal?
