Best Chinese input method for Windows?

Hey, all.

I think I'm using MS Pinyin, but I'm not quite sure (it's the one where control+space lets you switch between languages... most of the time).

I dislike it because I find that it lacks the simple logic that Nokia developed ~15 years ago with Chinese T9. (I.e. It can't string together phrases with more than 2 characters very well, and it butchers a lot of really common words.)

By contrast, whatever input method my droid uses is simply brilliant:
-type in "nhm" and it spits out "你好吗?" (with the question mark)
-it has also managed to memorize my apartment complex name, my company name, and my friends' names

Is there anything comparable for Windows?
