Section 4: Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters into your phone. This section
also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in a portrait (upright) or landscape
(sideways) orientation. The landscape orientation makes entering
text easier. If the phone is sideways or upright, an on-screen,
QWERTY keypad is displayed.

Keys

You can enter characters into your phone by using an on-screen,
QWERTY, portrait or landscape keypad. In both formats, the keys
are associated with alphabetic letters, special characters, or
numbers, as shown in the following layouts.
From a screen where you can enter text, for example the New
Message screen, hold your phone in an upright position to
display the portrait version of the on-screen QWERTY keypad.
Rotate your phone counterclockwise to display the landscape
version of the on-screen QWERTY keypad.
