Alright, I am unable to locate my manual. Does anybody use text
messaging on the Samsung A680? Do you ever use T9 to write faster? If
so, what do you do to ask it to switch words when it choses the wrong
word [i.e. 'am' instead 'an']. My old A500 I just had to press up or
down on the joystick and it would try another matching word. What am I
supposed to do on this phone?

The "0" key scrolls through the possiblilites.

Thanks! It works perfectly. I wonder why they chose such a
non-intuiative key for this? :)

The other keys have letters on them?

Scrolling with the joystick/pad makes the most sense to me.

As is mine. Frankly, I never noticed it.

Perfect! Now, is there a way to get T9 as the default when choosing
Messaging?
