This will make the phone work alot better for internet and email... Tegic Communications Licenses Text Input Software to QUALCOMM; T9 Text Input Simplifies Text Entry On Wireless Phones Business Wire - May 24, 1999 12:13 SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1999--Tegic Communications today announced it has signed a licensing agreement with QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology. Under the agreement, QUALCOMM will have the right to make the T9(TM) Text Input software available with its CDMA digital phones, enabling QUALCOMM wireless phone users to use wireless applications such as email, Internet access and short messaging more easily. "QUALCOMM is always interested in software that complements our handsets," said Gina M. Lombardi, vice president of product management for QUALCOMM Consumer Products. "T9 Text Input offers our customers another option to help make our phones more useful." "QUALCOMM's CDMA digital phones are characterized by superior quality and ease of use," said Don Davidge, vice president of sales and marketing for Tegic Communications. "T9 Text Input increases the ease of import for text messaging, giving users an even more powerful tool for mobile communications." About T9 Text Input By incorporating T9 Text Input into mobile communications products, companies are solving the fundamental problem of how to quickly and easily type messages from standard 10-digit keypads. T9 Text Input replaces conventional "multi-tap" text entry, allowing users to compose text message with only one key press per letter. Each key on a telephone keypad has more than one letter -- a single press on the "5" key could be "J," "K," or "L." T9 Text Input automatically compares users' key presses to an internal linguistic database to determine the correct word. For example, entering the word "call" into a mobile phone takes just four key presses with T9 Text Input compared to ten key presses using conventional multi-tap text entry.
