    Is there a classical music friendly mobile?

    As the infrequent texts that I send are almost all classical music related, I'm rather vexed by the poor predictive text in my Sony-Ericcson phone. Green it may be, but Strauss/Mahler it ain't. Am forever spelling composers names and works. It even struggled with the word 'sublime' as in 'Strauss is an intriguing composer. From the sublime Metamorphosen to the banal RosenKavalier'. That took four spelling additions!

    So as my contract will soon be up for renewal, could I please ask for recommendations? A predictive text that knows of the existence of Wagner and Mahler takes precedence over the latest techno-gizmo or the ability to Twit or Farcebook.

    Your musico-lexicographical database has clearly been dumbed down. My mobile does Schenkerian analysis, generates random retrogradable tone-rows and plays the complete Gurrelieder as its ring tone. Makes tea in the morning too.

      Predictive text is rubbish and my first action with a new phone is to disable it.

        Some phones- including my shiny new Blackberry! - have a personal dictionary feature, into which you can add words/names etc that might not otherwise be recognised. Works a treat!

          I'm curious as to why you're writing your dissertation using your mobile phone.
