BlackBerry Bold 9000
No Predictive Text? What's up? Any apps?
I am considering the Bold and just read that it does not have Predictive Text. I am use to the WM systems and really like the PT. Do BB not need it for some reason or can it be added? I see that the Storm has PT. What's up with that?

I've never missed it. You do however have Autotext, which in my opinion is better. With Autotext you can create your own "shorthand". For example, one of my personal Autotexts is "OMW". Whenever I type OMW in a message it automatically expands it to "On My Way". Another is "SYI". That automatically expands to "See You In", so when I type "SYI (space) 5, it expands out to "See you in 5".
I think you'll find that when you are typing on a full qwerty keyboard, it almost takes more time to look up and utilize PT than it would be to just keep typing.
The Bold also has a function that allows you to check spelling as you type. It underlines misspelled word and then will offer you corrected suggestions.
