Is there some way to turn the predictive dictionary off?

I assume by the predictive dictionary you're using the built-in qtopia
keyboard. You can get it to not be predictive by holding a key until the
zoom dialog pops up (a little gray circle showing which key you have
pressed). And you can get at other keyboard buttons (symbols, numbers,
etc.) by sliding your finger upwards or downwards.
By the "Full-QWERTY" keyboard I think you mean the Illume keyboard
(which was what popped up until recently), but that's now disabled (in
the Illume code) in favour of the qtopia keyboard. But you should be
able to get virtually all the same keys you had available with that with
the qtopia keyboard (there are a small number missing, like the cursor
keys), you just have to know about the need to slide upwards to reveal
the other layouts.
Cheers,
Mike.
