    you can't write Japanese using kanji alone.

    For some reason I suspect the compilers of the Man'youshuu might not be prepared to agree with that.

    The young kids are pretty quick with those keypads. But they tend to keep a list of standard phrases handy, as well, which shortens typing considerably when they mostly speak in idiom.


    My wife prefers my iBook to her cell phone.


    Now, if we wanted to do this sort of thing with English on a regular keyboard, we would have an input filter, so that when you had typed two or three keys and the list of likely candidates was narrowed down a bit, a menu of candidates would pop up. I think several word processors have experimented with this, and the consensus is that it's usually just easier to type it out in English. But it might make sense on an English cell phone.
