4 Text entry
There are two ways to enter letters
and numbers into your phone:
• Standard text input - for
making entries in the phone book.
• Predictive text input - for writing text messages, picture messages, and
e-mails. For more detail, see “Write with predictive text” on page 34.
• STANDARD TEXT INPUT
Standard text input is used when entering text into information prompts.
You can use this method for all text entry, but predictive text input is the
faster method for writing messages.
