2-Your idea on statistics is really hard to implement: how send statistics? where? and overall: users maybe are not happy to know that someone know what they are writing!!! FastSMS is designed to learns more used words. After 10-20 perhaps 50 sms more commons words are on the top of the list
If you write "Hey mate, what's up?" in a second message all of these words are the first choice! However i think that the actual system is not the best: i have to think about it to understand how i can change it
I know that first run are not so comfortable but atm there are no others solution. If someone will use intensively the app and wants to send the dictionary file i will happy to analyze it and reorder words
3-Yes, you are right i will add asap

Thank you for taking my requests into consideration!
I understand what you mean about the privacy issues, indeed they exist - but you could put this as an option (default off) to report anonymously & manually, even more, keep a list on the phone of words that have been used with a counter per word,
then you go into the option, choose "Report usage" and a list with the words and checkboxes will appear, you can unselect the ones you don't like.

The reporting part is pretty easy, and HTTP post containing an XML body with a simple syntax like :

Code:

<root><word><name>hello</name>
<count>5</count></word>
<word><name>roommate</name>
<count>5</count></word>
<word><name>car</name>
<count>7</count></word>
</root>

On the server side, you put PHP or ASP or Perl or C# and parse this, and automatically insert it into a dictionary.
I can help on the server side if you need - the only thing you need is a dedicated server (:

Another option :
You could also run a scan on the conversation history on 10 phones, and use that as a base statistics.
