In hk, from what i've seen, nokia and most other phones use the "5 stroke" method to enter characters and Motorolla uses its own 9 stroke method. Nokia has the option for using pinyin, but its for simplified characters only. I think all phones in mainland china use pinyin. I don't know why the page says Q9 is the normal method used on cell phones, i've never seen it. Maybe it was normal years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.64.202.247 ( talk) 06:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Which phones actually use Q9? Nokia ones certainly don't; they instead use T9 Chinese. spacehunt 06:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC) reply

That's right, it most certainly is not Hong Kong's 'Standard' system, the original author should remove that sentence. Preroll ( talk) 21:23, 28 April 2012 (UTC) reply

I think the appropriate Wikipedia policy says anyone can remove it, it doesn't have to be the original author. I had assumed it was standard because it was the only input method I had observed my Hong Kong friends using. However, my sample size is too small, so I was hoping that if I start the article then others will correct it. Anyway I've now removed the word "standard". Silas S.

Q9 is used at a lot of schools as an easier form of Chinese input. The license fee is cheap (US$9) for commercial use, and actually cost-free for personal use. It is not necessary to use the keypad, an on screen keypad display allows selection of glyphs via a mouse pointing device. 219.79.235.121 02:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC) reply
