select Mode (right softkey) to change the character
input mode.

2.

Use your navigation key to select one of the following
options:

T9 Word to enter characters using predictive T9 Text
Input. (See page 43.)

Alphabet to enter characters by using the Alphabet
mode. (See page 45.)

SYMBOL to enter symbols.

SMILEYS to enter smile icons.

Emoticons to enter “emoticons.”

Web Shortcuts to enter Web shortcuts (for example,
