It certainly does make text messaging easier. You should look in your phone's owner's manual for information on how to use it on your phone.

Takes a small amount of getting used to, but it definitely works and is very time saving. My new phone will attempt to predict the next word before you've even started typing it!

That depends on the phone. On some phones, using the abc entry mode will allow you to enter new words, and they are automatically added to the phone's dictionary. On other phones, you cannot add new words.
