Entering Text 47

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and all
consecutive letters are kept in lowercase unless you touch the
Shift key. After entering a character, the cursor automatically
advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter
a character on a different key.

Using the QWERTY Keypad

This phone also offers the convenience of an on-screen QWERTY
keypad. Using the QWERTY keypad to type letters, numbers,
punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or
other applications should be simpler and faster than using the
portrait keypad.

The following keys perform special functions when entering text:

1.

Shift: Press to switch between uppercase and lowercase

characters.

2.

123Sym: Press once to type special characters and

numbers that appear on the QWERTY keys. Examples: $,

@, #, !, 1, 2. Press again to deactivate this function. Touch

either

or

on the

button to cycle through

additional keys.

3.

T9: Press to activate the T9 mode in either abc (all lower

case) or

(where the keys default to lowercase until

the Shift key is touched [activated]). This is achieved by

repeatedly pressing the button to toggle the current state.
