Really glad I chose the iPhone now

I had a curve for 20 months or so and it was great, would highly recommend one of those

It did eventually die, which was annoying, but then it was used a hell of a lot!

Well i'll keep going with it then! Only thing i'm having problem with is when writing a message, if I choose not to use that smart type thing, so the keys look like an ordinary phone's keypad, is there any way of turning on predictive text?

when you go into 'compose sms' press the blackberry button and see if you get an autotext option. Mines got the predictive switched on, fuck know how I did it though!!

When your on that mode, press the Blackberry button and click "Enable Multimap"

Predictive txt will then be off.

Not with my fat fingers it aint pal

I am also having trouble with signal too. My old phone was fine but this one floats around 1-2 bars of signal, if i try to make a call it drops off to nothing. Think its gonna have to go back!

But then it changes the keypad to that stupid 2 letters per key, where i want to use it as an ordinary phone keypad (2abc, 3def, 4ghi etc), but with predictive text.

I'm calling vodafone on monday anyway, they can have it back! Fed up with being without a signal at home!
