I have to type the whole thing in by hand. Am I missing something obvious?
Yeah, unfortunately this appears to be the behavior of Maemo for autocompletes. As has been noted, you can't use the stylus to select one of the autocomplete suggestions - you have to use the DPad. And it can be difficult to see which one is actually selected if there are only two suggestions...

I hope the Maemo developers work on usable autocomplete.
