Settings>language & keyboard> spelling correction

Edit: I might be wrong

Go to language & keyboard then turn off trace keyboard first in touch input settings then you can turn off prediction in text input settings.

the thing is i tried that and they faded the option so you can't uncheck it.

I just tried the suggestion munguse posted, and it does work. Initially, if you just try to turn off prediction, it is grayed out, but if you follow those steps, it works. To repeat what munguse suggested:

Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input. (Touch the settings button to the right.)

Select Trace keyboard from the list. Uncheck Trace keyboard. Go back.

Select Text input from the list. You can now uncheck Prediction.

Thanks goodness I found this thread and insturctions that worked. Virgin Mobile and HTC both said it could not be turned off and Best Buy had not a clue. Thanks.....
