Entering Text
You can enter alphanumeric characters
by using the phone’s keypad. For
example, storing names in the Address
Book, writing a message, or creating
scheduling events in the calendar all
require entering text.
The following text input methods are
available in the phone.
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.
You can set on and off for the T9 input
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 mode to 123.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special
characters.
n Notice
The default setting on the phone is T9
disabled mode.
Changing the Text Input Mode
Change the text input mode by pressing
. You can check the current text
input mode in the upper right corner of
the screen.
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.
