Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode when
entering characters using the QWERTY keyboard or keypad. It also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the
number of key strokes needed to enter text.
The A886 is equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the phone
is being held in an upright (portrait) or sideways (landscape) orientation.
This is useful when entering text. If the phone is sideways, the QWERTY
keyboard is displayed. When upright, the alphanumeric keypad is shown.
The A886 also provides handwriting recognition to further simplify the task
of text entry.
Using the QWERTY Keyboard
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. The onscreen QWERTY
keyboard displays.
