Ferdinand, I'm pretty sure the T9 keyboard layout can be addressed via the layouts (not yet) available in System Settings > Language & Text > Keyboard Layouts. You should file a feature request (bug report) requesting the T9 layout. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard
Royden, The difficult cursor position *and* copy+paste handling must be (further) improved too. I read in a YouTube review comparing phone platforms (I think Jolla, Sailfish, Android, Windows Phone) that Windows Phone is by far the best platform handling keyboard, copy+paste! -- I believe there should be mentioned Ubuntu Touch one day. That's be nice. What is also missing is: - voice input (being translated into text) - dictionaries - swype'ish text input, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080510 Not sure if everything can only or must be provided by Canonical through the platform, or if hooks for 3rd-party providers are also planned (as on Android).
