Stop me if you've heard this one before.
My sister's name is Rebekah. The predictive text recognition function on my cellphone doesn't recognise her name. I want a phone that recognises the names of all the people in my address book. How hard can that be?
Get on with it, you lazy b.......s

Clearly you need to start referring to everyone you know with consistently implemented words that ARE in the predictive text function. |

My Nokia used to learn words (including
names), which then became part of the
predictive text dictionary. Doesn't work
with my Crapny Ericcssonn, though. |

GPL: At the moment I call her "sis". Problem is I like her name, and have 2 sisters. |

MB: Nokia was nearly there, in that case; just needed to automatically include all address book names not yet recognised. |

Yeah, it was a feature on a really old Nokia of mine as well but hasn't been present in the following 3 or 4 Nokia models I've had since. Widespread use of the feature is worth a bun, though the fact that it has previously existed prompts me to stay on the fence. [-/+] |

[edit] - [sofa] The old Nokia I had directly lifted names from its address book. |

(off subject) I have a talking caller ID on my home phone and they should teach it to pronouce names as the function does everything phonetically and usually sounds hilarious. |
