Text entry
• WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE
TEXT
Your phone offers predictive text input.
Predictive text uses a highly compressed
database (or "dictionary") of common
words and tries to anticipate the word
you are entering. You can use predictive
text input when you:
• Write or reply to a text message
• Create a note in the calendar
• Enter text while using the
Minibrowser
Watching predictive text guess a word
can be confusing, so you should disregard
the screen until all characters have been
entered.
Example: To write “Nokia”:
