Chinese Pinyin is COMPLICATED

Dear Sony,

I have used many phones before but i only encounter this problem on Sony Xperia Z.

The chinese pinyin suggestions is very complicated

i.e.

If I type "meiyou" (meaning "No") which is a basic chinese word, it will not appear on the first line of suggested characters and i have to find it far from the dropdown list.

It will take a long time for me to compose a message using pinyin, that i have to use a 3rd party application (Pleco) to type my message and copy it to the message field just to get me going.

Please fix this on your next update.

I am totally agree with this! I have just changed from iOS to Z1 and found the chinese pinyin input is pathetic. Everything is cool but this chinese pinyin input drives me crazy which I found so awesome in iOS. Please help to update Sony!

1. update suggestion with more useful veriation

2. easier way to choose words after pinyin like i.e. by strokes number

3. able to type English with enter while on the pinyin keyboard

that would be awesome!!!
