Selecting a Character Input Mode
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter words, letters,
punctuation, and numbers whenever you are prompted to enter text (for
example, when adding a Contacts entry or when using Mail and SMS
Text Messaging).
Tip:
If the character modes do not appear after pressing the right
softkey, try entering a single character in the entry field and then
pressing the right softkey again.
Note:
Although text can also be entered via the Main LCD on the MP3
Player side, it is recommended that you utilize the phone's keypad
to enter the message's text.
Text entry using the MP3 side of the phone relies more heavily on
up/down scrolling and word selections based on your Used word
Dictionary and Prediction Start features.
To change the character input mode:
1.
Within a text entry screen, select
