I have looked and looked and cant get a straight answer on this one...I do not want T9 on my Omnia but I do have to have the name/contact suggestions in SMS... I have the T9 disabled and even ran a cab to make sure but I cannot get contact suggestion to work on SMS...

Omnia i910
Windows 6.1
Fingerboard 2.1
Facebook

(thats all i have installed)

Yeah... It was just an issue/quirk with this device.... My Ozone does fine and a bit more text friendly device....Thx for the info though...

on my SlideIT app I just add the name and it does the rest. for multiple contacts I add a semi colon.
yes the samsung keypad sucks

I actually tried it with Swype and fingerboard and just couldnt get texts off very fast and had to hit enter to go to another screen to add contacts... I have fat "gamer" thumbs so texing on a screen just isnt for me... I did love the device other than that though...

on the xt9 one on the lower beside the space button its xt9/abc.try this and see if its ok.have it on xt9 for your recipient and it does the suggestion then when you type the sms body tap the xt9/abc to abc. i tested twitter,facebook and some of my other contacts and it worked for me.for multiple contacts put a semi colon between contacts
hope that helps
btw slideIT sucks on Opera/Omnia combo
