Symbiosis60

On his website, Vaibhav Sharma recently posted a nice link to porting S60's dictionary to another device. For the longest time I have been annoyed with the fact that it's impossible to customize your device's dictionary. It would be so nice if S60 gave us, the user, a choice of which T9 dictionaries to install on the device. For example when you launch the setup wizard on your device you should be given an option to choose lets say 3 or 4 T9 languages. You put a check mark and voila...the phone downloads the dictionaries OTA and from there you're all set. W-H-Y do we need to be at the carrier / manufacturer's mercy when it comes to our texting habbits? I text both in English and Polish but disabling T9 just so I can send an sms in Polish is just a plain annoyance. Sure there are the device codes which many have played around with but that works across the same hardware only (as in N95-1 in Poland vs N95-1 released in India...change the product code and the firmware update will install with the desired language pack). This unfortunately puts N95-3 or any N, E or whatever -3 users out of luck since the hardware of the device is completely different.


Now with a little hackery as shown on Vaibhav's blog I opened the ".dat" file in Windows notepad" but it's not just a simple list of words one after another. There are some weird characters (HEX perhaps) which lead me to believe that it may not be as ease to add the words to this file and put it back on the phone. Perhaps someone can figure out how to add more words manually and create a custom T9 dictionary????
