Phone pad (T9) text input on XZ

Went to buy the new XZ today but couldn't find phonepad text input for European languages. Only available for Chinese. Why does Sony do this kind of thing to loyal customers? Will stick to my current Xperia or wait and see if there will be an update. This same thing happened with the Z1 until there was an update.

When your keyboard pop up.press left abc-123 tab.on your right 0 you tap setting icon then you go to settings keyboard on top.scroll down and you can sellec full or keypad keyboard.if you go to language setting you can choose the language you need and on the right side you see a keyboard icon.there you can switch to azerty or qwerty like the pictures above. Its easy

Thanks Don 82,

Downloaded and installed the Xperia keyboard on my new Xperia X Compact. Changed to T9 layout. Works like a charm!

This is a very bad answer. Sony must provide the solution to this problem, not unofficial developers. On the other hand, Play Store apps do not have predictive T9.
