ing, and perhaps masking, the automatic behavior.

3.4.2 Instant Messaging

The phone supports sending and receiving instant text messages. The user is alerted to
incoming messages visually and audibly. The user can choose to view the messages
immediately or when it is convenient. For sending messages, the user can choose to
either select a message from a pre-set list of short messages, or an alphanumeric text
entry mode allows the typing of custom messages using the dial pad. Message sending
can be initiated by replying to an incoming message or by initiating a new dialog. The
destination for new dialog messages can be entered manually or selected from the con-
tact directory, the preferred method.
