Auto expand short cut phrases.

[sting7k]

Has anyone else seen this setting? I just found this in the settings and never read about it before.

You can have it save a short cut phrase such as "bc" and it will auto expand to "because". That is pretty freaking cool.

Thanks for the link. I already set up my email shortcut. Works like a charm. This brings me back to my Blackberry days.

It DEFINITELY works in text, just tested in email too. Seems to work just about anywhere the keyboard is used.
