Recent reviews

The T9 keyboard layout, also known as the mobile keypad, is an iconic design from the early mobile era. Its compact, numeric-based structure prioritizes simplicity and efficiency for one-handed use, making it highly practical for texting. Unlike QWERTY layouts, which work best on larger screens or physical keyboards, the T9 excels on smaller devices, where its simple alphebetic input allows for faster typing with minimal effort. For users nostalgic for the pre-touchscreen era.

It doe's the job but is a bit buggy in that it don't always catch letters as you type them. Can be rather annoying but is the only one of it's type that I can find so will have to do.
