I hate predictive texting and T9. I would much prefer that the phone companies release a phone with the letters properly huffman coded onto the buttons. The fact that I have to press a button twice for some of the most common letters in common English usage annoys me no end. WTF are 'P' and 'W' doing as a single press letters?

Even something where I got to select morphemes based on huffman coding would be much nicer. 'th' 'er', 'ere', 'ing' would go a long way to make things easier, and would be much more consistant and use less phone resources than this crappy AI related stuff that will never work properly. People can learn things like this pretty easy (look how fast kids get at texting given the absolute crap designs out there.)
