Maybe slightly out of context, but I read in some of your posts that you are an ambassador, advocate and what not. I got the impression that you want to help others. What I quoted from you doesn't seem like something one would say and still appear helpful to others.

If I start a thread about how I like Coke more than Pepsi and you start a thread about how you like Pepsi more, would you like me to come around the Pepsi thread and talk about how much better Coke is?

And I know you are trying to help others, no question about it, but your fire seems to catch others on fire more than keep them warm in the cold.

Tried and failed. I put a lot of time and effort into making T9 work for me. No go. It was wrong more than it was right and I lost patience with teaching it.

Everyone is different, Chris. What works for one does not necessarily work for all.

I just can't get used to it, else I would have gotten Nokia E51 instead of Nokia E71. If you prefer tthis though that is a N900 disadvantage for you on hardware level.

I believe a QWERTY keyboard with Fn option will eventually be faster than T9 after you 'used it for a month or two'. With predictive on. Because you need to give both equal learning curve, and the special characters you can use use faster than with T9.

There are use-case examples pointing to contrary ie. if one has something in one hand one cannot detach (metro, dog, baby) while posture is stable enough to focus on mobile device + using input on it with one hand (as possible with e.g. Nokia E71).

Most people don't think before they type. To understand their way of behaviour as experiment use amphetamine in combination with writing. Helps against writers block too. kidding, its a good point, but not 'universal'. If you know exactly what to write you're gonna need care for max speed. Err. Hmm.

Look, if I can't say anything about portrait, why should you? let it go. didn't you hear them? Or is this just for me, and not the rest?

Now I get it. There's one main use-case for single handed operation that nobody has mentioned explicitly. Onanism.
I rest my case.
