Default Auto complete?

Please Login to Remove!

Is there a command on the 7250 to use auto complete when typing? It was a nice feature on my Razr & I miss it. I can't find anything about it in the manual.
Thanks,
~~g.

If you mean predictive typing (like when MS Word suggests a word for you), no BB can do that.

You can use AutoComplete for easier typing, though. I have 'bb' in my AutoComplete so when I want to type 'Blackberry' I just type bb and press space and it replaces it with 'Blackberry'.

Juwaack is correct, very useful feature which I use constantly, itis called AutoText on the BlackBerry. Look at Options, AutoText to edit or store new words or phrases.

DOH! AutoText, not AutoComplete. And I can't even blame it on the lack of coffee

Thanks! I was afraid it wasn't a feature. I'll have to get used to AutoText.

SureType is as close as you can get to predictive text on a BB (and it's not really predictive text).
