Mobile phone dictionaries
Dictionaries are funny things, never complete due to the way languages change so quickly; but then on the other hand it's surprising my Sony Ericsson K800i doesn't have blog, or colloquialisms such as hey and hiya, or even Mrs in its dictionary for that matter.
If the mobile platform was more open, I'd just be able to edit or import the English dictionary of my choice. David Bartlett maintains the excellent English dictionary which is used by Thunderbird and OpenOffice. Of cause, as the mobile platform isn't yet open we can't use David's dictionary; we just have to make do.
In addition, the K800i doesn't notice that I only type "Hiya!", it always suggests "Hiya.", then I need to select the exclamation mark myself. Adding "Hiya!" to the dictionary is the workaround.. but the phone should really take my input as a training set, to tune its ability to make suggestions based on data!

thats pretty weird, my old sony six years old, had "heya", "hiya" and even "fuck" in the dictionary when i got it! my current phone has "KDE" in it as the first K word. ahhh the joys of buying second hand from a linux geek.
