Oh its a minor quibble. I can text without looking at the keypad but here I would have to look at the screen. I probably should take back my confusing comment about drawbacks. About your other comment, it becomes particularly easy to enter a word if a word fits the language model. But if it does not, it is not that much more difficult than picking the letters one by one. In fact I just had to try your example out on it. It turns out 'rhinocephant' isnt a hard enough word for the default English language model at all. 'rhinoce' and 'phant' turned out to be common substrings.
