T9™ Text Input is an intelligent input for SMS & phonebook that analyses keystrokes to come
up with the right word. It is a fast and simple way to enter information on the phone. It is a very
efficient method of text input that requires just one key press per letter; the other available
method (Basic text input as described in section below) requires the user to press a key the
number of times corresponding to the original position of the character on the key. For
example, entering the English word "easy" requires only 4 key presses with T9™ Text Input, but
as many as 10 key presses when using Basic Text Input, therefore, a significant productivity
advantage exists with T9™ Text Input.
