AutoCompleteBox from the
Silverlight 3 may help in cases when
WP7 built-in word prediction options may not be appropriate.

Windows phone 7 contains built in support for word prediction when a user types something in a TextBox. This is fine, and in many cases just what you need. But say for example you have an input field where you want your users to enter their favorite sport. Using InputScope Text or Chat is not the best option. If a user starts to enter “So” he will get a lots of words having nothing to do with sport – Doc, Six, Social, Society. The word “Soccer” which is the word the user most likely meant is not even on the screen, you will have to scroll to see it.
