Entering Text
When using your phone, you will need to enter
text at many times; for example, when storing a
name in Phone Book, creating a text message, or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone's keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• T9(English): This mode allows you to enter
words with only one keypress per letter. Each
key on a keypad has more than one letter; for
example, when you press once, J,K or L
displays. The T9(English) mode automatically
compares your key presses to an internal
linguistic database to determine the correct
word thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than
the traditional multi-tap method, Alphabet
mode.
• Alphabet: This mode allows you to enter
letters by pressing the key labelled with the
letter you want once, twice, or three times until
the letter displays.
• Symbol: This mode allows you to enter various
symbols, punctuation marks, and special
characters.
• Number: This mode allows you to enter
numbers.

Changing the Text Input Mode
When you are in a field that allows characters to
be entered, you will notice the text input mode
indicator on the display.
To change the text input mode:
1. Press the Options soft key.
2. Scroll to the mode you want by pressing Up or
Down navigation keys.
3. Press the Select soft key.
You will find the indicator of the selected text
input mode on the display.
Using T9(English) Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode which allows
you to enter any character using single
keystrokes. This text input mode is based on a
built-in dictionary.
Using Alphabet Mode
When typing in Alphabet mode, you should press
the keys labelled with the letter you want:
- once for the first letter
- twice for the second letter
- and so on.
This method is called Multi-tap typing.
