Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: 1.6 Text Msg's Would Predict Your Next Word - Based On Last Time You Sent A Similar Text

But now I'm on 2.1, it doesn't do anything of the sort.

e.g. let's say i had sent out a text stating; "Hi John, I will be at yours next week - you can email me at berty@bassett.com if you need me to bring anything"

so a few days later I'd start a new text. By the time I'd wrote "Hi" the system would offer me the next word as "John" - it had kind of learned what it thought I might want to say next. This was incredibly useful when entering email addresses into form pages.

Now, when I type "Hi", it offers stupid suggestions like "Hit, High, Hill" and other completely unrelated junk.

If I enable predictive texts, it auto fixes words that don't need auto fixing. I sent a text to my sister saying "lolzalot" and by the time I realised what had gone on, it had instead replaced my word with "locally"

Why is this new way of doing things so poor compared to the old 1.6 way? Or at least, how can I get it back to being like it should be.
