exactly, I need T9, im insanely fast with T9 and never need to even look at the keyboard (or screen for that matter) but course with touch its impossible.

But for 1 handed use this would be welcome. One thing I detest, is how in symbian for instance, you have to tap, then a keyboard comes up, you enter and THEN you see the whole message in the sms app.

I cant do anything at all, for instance auto complete in the browser, i have to type half way and then go back for it to auto complete, its just a pain.

If we could see the thing being typed on the actual page, like some other phones, even if it means a slightly smaller viewing area it would be most welcome.
