XT9 is predictive text and it will help chooses the word before you have every letter pressed, and it saves time by not asking you to press each key multiple times for the second letter on the key.

abc will force you to press each letter, to use digi's example for the word "think" you would have to press (TY) once, (GH) twice, (UI) twice, (BN) twice, and (JK) twice.
It takes a little bit to train XT9, but it is well worth it.
