3. Write text
You can enter text in two different ways: traditional text input , or predictive
text input .
To use traditional text input, repeatedly press the key marked with the letter that
you want until the letter appears.
Not all characters available under a number key are printed on the key. The characters
available depend on the
Language you have chosen. See "Phone settings," p. 26.
To enter a letter that is on the same key as the previous one, wait until the cursor
appears, or press any of the scroll keys, and then enter the letter.
The most common punctuation marks and special characters are available by
pressing the number key 1.
■ Set predictive text
To set predictive text, select Options > Predictive text while you are writing
a message.
• To set the predictive text input on, select a language in the predictive text
options list. Predictive text input is only available for the languages on the list.
• To change back to the traditional text input, select Prediction off .
To use predictive text input, follow these steps:
1. Enter the word you want by pressing each key once for a single letter. The
word changes after each keystroke. For example, to write "Nokia" when the
English predictive text is selected, press 6, 6, 5, 4, 2.
2. If the displayed word is the one you want, press 0, and start writing the
next word.
If you want to change the word, press * repeatedly until the word you
want appears.
If ? is displayed after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To add the
word to the dictionary, select
Spell , enter the word (using traditional text
input), and select OK .
To add a compound word with predictive input, enter the first half of the word,
scroll right, and enter the second half.
