    How do I turn off predictive text on a Nokia 3410?

    I've tried following the handbook instructions, but to no avail.

    A step by step guide using words of one syllable for a middle aged extreme
    novice user would be appreciated.

    TIA.

    start a text, go to options then to dictionary scroll through the
    languages until you see dictionary off

    I'm just curious: does *anybody* find predictive text useful?

    I'm not aware of anyone in my circle who uses it -- anybody I've spoken
    to about it has found it just plain annoying rather than even
    remotely helpful.

    it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you've used it, it's awesome..

    eg HELLO

    without predictive text MINIMUM of 13 keypresses
    with predictive text only 5!!

    That's kind of you -- but it was Chris Mitchell who gave the solution -
    - I just quoted it!

    (I take thanks wherever I can get 'em though -- I'm not proud...)

    Cheers; glad it's turned off, anyway,
    Harvey

    Couldn't text without it! Well, almost, anyway.

    Trouble is if you can't ***** (like me) predictive text can be a pain at
    times.

    If it happens, it must be possible.

    Thanks Cpt Jack.

    Apologies for crediting Harvey earlier, like Harvey I probably need new
    glasses.

    Interesting to note that O2 didn't know the answer!

    Although you can turn the dictionary off, Pred text is worth wrestling with.
    I hated it at first, till I learned what you don't do.

    The trick is not to look at the screen as you are typing, only after each
    word. So to write H-E-L-L-O you press the key once that has h, then e, then
    l etc. You don't have to rotate letters with Pred text as it guesses the
    words, but as it does so the screen displays the closest, word in memory, so
    that is why you don't look at it as until the word is spelt it can look
    totally wrong.

    If after completion, the word is guessed wrong you can go into [options] and
    look at the [matches] and select one of those.
    If the word is not there or want to turn it off in order to type a word
    manually mid pred text entry, use the # key to rotate the SMS pred symbols
    on the top left between various SMS modes including capitals and lower
    letters, pred text caps and lower etc.

    Once you get the hang of it, it is quite good. Remember to have English
    dictionary selected. No good *****ing in English if you are using Spanish
    language for example.
