T9 keyboard on 4.3

Why has Sony dumped the T9 keypad on its new flagship Z1 compact.  I've been waiting months to buy this phone but tried it out at the showroom and found that it doesn't have the T9 keypad.  Yes, you can use the T9 keypad when in Chinese mode but that means you're only able to switch between English or Chinese.  For people like me who need to switch between Swedish, English, Indonesian and French, this new model only offers QWERTY, which on a compact phone, is ridiculously small.  This is a dealbreaker for me so I'll be hanging on to my Arc S.   I can't understand why Sony would do this.  Surely you can configure an update for this.  Please, please, please do so because I really want to continue to buy Sony products.

This has been asked before and it seems that was passed to Sony's developers, in the mean time you could add a third party T9 keyboard
