Android 2.3 (Monte Carlo) predictive text = crap

[Raymond Lin]

I got the Orange Monte Carlo for my sister to replace her old Samsung flip phone but the predictive text on the android is annoying at best.

She told me it is really hard to write out a text without some uber accurate finger placement and I thought she was just being picky. But I tried it, typing the same way as I do on the iPhone and it isn't possible to get even the simple words out. Typing the letters Y I U on the iPhone, it will autocorrect it to YOU as it should but on the android is simply doesn't when it is obvious.

There are Suggestive words that comes up when you type but autocorrect is just rubbish.

Does anyone know a solution? Some pack I can download or something?

just download an app. I use swype on my desire

How do I do that? As in with iTunes I use app store, I am not familar with android.

Yes it does have a 4.3" screen and it is still crap! I can type like the boss on the iPhone but not on that!
