I was a little lost until the iPod and the t9 showed up, then it was almost scary how normal it all felt. I didn't even realize I still remembered t9 but I didn't even have to think.

T9 is the predictive word one. That Nokia used the original single-letter-at-a-time method, and it got me when I guessed that it was T9 (which was around for much longer than the single-letter method).
