How very very very sad I bought this phone to upgrade my much beloved Pearl 8100 and it has T9!!!!!

I really hate T9 and now im stuck with it. I will try to change the keyboard and if it does not work, I throw it out of the wondwo.

What a pity such a nice phone

Changing the keyboard will not change the underlying key mapping.
And there are 2 different 9100 models, which have different keyboard layouts. [The 9100 and the 9105]
