I HATE QWERTY!!! I'm very frustrated... why aren't the cell phone makers listening?!

I can't stand the tiny buttons and make more mistakes. Another thing is that "predictive" text makes less sence on the QWERTY as compared to the numeric. you know, the funny thing is that I can enter text faster on my T9 enabled numeric phone than on my E63 (similar to your E71).
