What I don't know right now is whether an app could "ask for it" in portrait mode, or the work that would be needed to provide this.

Actually you're perhaps (or am I?) a bit misled now.

Maemo 5 has the ITU-T keypad layout in the phone. T9 on the other hand refers to the algorithm where typing any number once tries to guess... there is "abc", and pressing it once predicts what the user means. ITU-T text input assumes press once for a, press twice for b, press thrice for c.

I haven't seen T9 on Maemo 5.
