E66 issues

I've had my E65 a few months now and it is for the most part a great phone but there are a few "niggles" which are starting to annoy me. Does anyone know a solution to the following issues:

[LIST=1]
[*]T9 dictionary - over the past few months the T9 dictionary has learned some odd words. It now displays "cf" when I type in "be", "rm" instead of "so", "oup" instead of "our" and so on. I know an old Sony Ericsson phone I had would change the first word that appeared when you typed on the keys depending on how often it was used (so if you pressed the keys 4 and then 3 it would display "he", but if you changed the word to "if" often enough this would then be displayed first). I didn't think the E65 had this function. But I don't think I've ever used "rm" or "cf" for anything so I've no idea how these could have replace the normal words. I have have tried just typing the same word in over and over again, but this hasn't changed things back. Does anyone know how to edit or delete these custom entries? I know on a Blackberry you can delete custom words you have entered but I can't find any option for this on the E65.

[*]Contacts not dialling - every now and then, when I try to dial a contact it refuses to dial out. I just press the call button and nothing happens. I can still dial out if I enter the number manually though. A reboot is the only way to fix this. Also, sometimes when I click on a number to dial, the phone says it is dialling, I put the phone to my ear, but after 30 seconds nothing happens. When I look at the screen it is just back at the Contact view. If I then try and dial again more often then not it will work. I know calls occasionally don't connect or the network/line is busy, but I never had this many problems before.

[*]Calendar Meeting Dates - Sometimes when I go to a date in the calendar (September 6th, for example) and create a new entry, the date for the new entry will not be September 6th, but some random date in the future. But this does not happen every time I create a new entry. The random date, when it does appear, is always the same. When this date is passed, the phone will start using a date a few months further in the future. I can't see any pattern to it.

The T9 problem is the most annoying, but any help or advice anyone could offer would be much appreciated!
