● Shift key (9) - Changes the character case, toggles predictive text input modes on or
off and number mode by tapping the key repeatedly.
Traditional text input
Tap a number key (1–9) repeatedly until the desired character appears. There are more
characters available for a number key than are visible on the key.
If the next letter is located on the same key as the present one, wait until the cursor
appears (or move the cursor right to end the time-out period), and enter the letter.
To insert a space, tap 0. To move the cursor to the next line, tap 0 three times.
Predictive text input
With predictive input, you can enter any letter with a single tap of a key. Predictive text
input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add new words.
1. To activate predictive text input for all editors in the device, simply tap on
select Activate
, and select
2. To write the desired word, tap the keys 2–9. Tap each key only once for one letter.
For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected, tap 6 for N,
6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.
The word suggestion changes after each tap of a key.
3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move the cursor right to confirm it, or
tap 0 to add a space.
If the word is not correct, tap * repeatedly to view the matching words the dictionary
has found one by one.
If the ? character is shown after the word, the word is not in the dictionary. To add
a word to the dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using traditional text input,
and select OK. The word is added to the dictionary. When the dictionary is full, a new
word replaces the oldest added word.
4. Start writing the next word.
To turn predictive text input off for all editors in the device, simply tap
