General Functions
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the
phone’s keypad. For example, storing names in the
Address Book, writing a message, and scheduling
events in the calendar all require entering text.
The following text input methods are available in the
phone.
n Note Some fields may allow only one text input mode (e.g.
telephone number in address book fields).
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.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
Changing the Text Input Mode
1. When you are in a field that allows characters to be
entered, you will notice the text input mode indicator
in the upper right corner of the display.
2. If you want to change modes, press . The
available modes are changed.
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.
