Tweak Your Way Back to Classic Word Completion
Pocketnow.com reminded us of the things we can do with registry edits. When it comes to text editing, XT9 dictionary is a great way to enter a bunch of text quickly. However, where there is fans, there are people who prefers others. In this case, its the good old classic word suggestion/completion where a vertical drop-down box is shown when characters are punched in.
There are a couple of ways that you can go about completing that switch: manual registry edits or installing a cab file that does that for you automatically. If you’d like to simple have the installation do the work for you, here is the CAB file (from PPCGeeks) for your convenience. And for the rest of you, the instructions below should guide you through the registry edit successfully.

If the effect doesn’t take place right way, give it a light nudge by soft-reseting the device and it should work. Feel free to leave comments of your experience.
