How to get T9 working

[noreboy]

I'm almost sure this has already been discussed, however I can't do a search for 'T9' because it's to short. I don't know what else to search for.

Anyway, how do I get the T9 function to work when sending things like text messages. When ever I type something on T9/phone pad mode, only numbers come out. I heard T9 works fine on the diamond so I would think it would work just the same on the TP. I would love to get this working for 1 handed messaging.
