10-key seems fine for many people. I have also seen some nice
implementations where the phone has a toggle at the top that reduces
text-entry on a 10-key to a single key entry (2=A, toggle up + 2 =B,
toggle down + 2 = C). Difficult text entry has not seemed to slow down
any of the millions of avid texters in Europe or Asia, and improving text
entry on small devices is *not* going to help them in the US. there are
other, more pressing problems.

Modern Nokia phones have an in-built dictionary. If the word is wrong press
'*' for the next word. So for 'quake' instead of 778825533 you only need
enter 78253*.
This works very well, keeping it to almost one key per letter.
