When was this developed? How did it do in the market? Against what systems did it compete at the time? Shinobu 05:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
My product design history T9: Text on Nine Keys, added to External Links, answers many of these questions. Lawnjay ( talk) 23:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Something about how T9 actually works would be nice. There's probably a good (or possibly less so) technical reason why it sometimes goes crazy and accepts/produces non-words. With a Swedish dictionary, it produces things like Michellellellellellelle and Gnageålning (the latter should be Incheckning, a fairly common word not found in the dictionary), and the reason is probably clear to someone who knows how T9 works.

I know this for a fact, as I have a Huawei phone that uses T9. Should I add this? TorontoLRT ( talk) 14:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
So from the text I understand that it works only for one language at the time. But I often type sentences in mixed languages and could this be the reason that T9 never works for me? Andries ( talk) 20:05, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I used to have a Siemens cellphone with a comprehensive and extendable T9 dictionary. Unfortunately I lost it. While the Samsung replacement in many respects does its job well the T9 function misses so many words (Swedish) and suggests so many non-words and seems unable to learn anything that it is pretty useless. The T9 function can also be hard to turn on/off on Samsung since it is not in the menus and the manual of my first Samsung forgot to tell about this feature. I thought that maybe each manufacturer built their own dictionary database so that the fault would be Samsung's. I have later been told that the company making T9 was bought by some other company that dropped most of the support for small languages (what a horrific waste if the dictionaries already exist!). It would be interesting if this issue could be treated in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 13:52, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
I read a news article that stated Martin King as a co-creator of the T9. Who is the other person? Were these engineers of Tegic? news article -- 88.115.26.13 ( talk) 06:03, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
On some phones I resolutely cannot get the phone to produce the word I want. The fact that there is no standard for T9 and no test suite should be brought out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.187.52.248 ( talk) 19:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
