General Functions
T9 Mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter. The T9 mode automatically compares
your keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary to
determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
ABC Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the
key labeled with the required letter once, twice, three
or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 Mode (Numbers Mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number.
To change to 123 mode in a text entry field, press
key until 123 mode is displayed.
A long press changes the mode to 123.

Using the T9 Mode
The T9 predictive text input mode allows you to enter
words easily with a minimum number of key presses. As
you press each key, the phone begins to display the
characters that it thinks you are typing based on a built-in
dictionary. As new letters are added, the word changes
to reflect the most likely candidate from the dictionary.
