Replace your on-screen keyboard with T9 (continued)

It has configuration options for font and location of display. The way you configure T9 is to run a program called T9 Prefs. One note: if you want to remove T9, you must first turn it off in the preferences dialog before attempting to remove it from memory.

I am struggling to find a complaint at this point. It's not good to write a review of a product and fail to present any negatives! Oh yeah. Here's the worst I can say: It currently takes 174K for the install and 5K for my custom words. there. It's HUGE!

Here's another advantage: T9 isn't a HackMaster hack, so even if I register it, I won't have the hassle of having to finding and reinstalling the password to re-enable the registered version should a hard reset be performed. The shareware version gives me 55 days (!) to try it out and become hopelessly addicted. Hmmm. One more thing: T9 is a bit costly at $39.95 U.S. . Now, that's just about the most I have seen for any add-on for the Palm device that I have wanted to buy, besides a leather cover. Unless I discover some wart that escapes me now, I will be paying that fee and registering this puppy in a week or so. ARC likes it.

Product availability and resources
T9 is available from Tegic Communications at http://www.t9.com.
