How can I change language for word suggestion while writing an sms text message I will be extremely disappointed if there is no way to change language WHILE writing an SMS without having to go to the phone's settings and changing the language there. Surely somebody in the android team must have been using more than one language?

Didn't know this was specific to phone model. I have a Google Nexus S.
In Android 2.2's stock keyboard, a long press on space bar then swiping left or right should allow you to switch between languages you selected on Settings &gt; Language &amp; Keyboard settings &gt; Android keyboard &gt; Input Languages &gt; Select Multiple Languages.

Note that it depends on your manufacturer, carrier, and ROM whether your phone will have the dictionary for the languages you want to use.
