ABC input

letters one by one. This is ideal for adding a

Smart ABC

which uses a built-in dictionary to predict the

and scrolling through the words suggested
by the phone. By reducing the number of
keystrokes, the smart ABC helps some users to
type messages more quickly.

joystick keys to find the character combination
you want. Press the right joystick key to
proceed entering the next character. If you
make a mistake, press Clear.

“baby” using smart text entry.
