Entering Letters; Text Input - Sony Ericsson Z520a User Manual

Entering letters

There are two ways of entering letters, for example,
when writing a message or writing a name in contacts:
• Multitap text input
Press each key as many times as needed to show
the letter you want.
• T9™ Text Input
The T9 Text Input method uses a built-in dictionary
to recognize the most commonly used word for
each sequence of key presses. This way, you press
each key only once, even if the letter you want is
not the first letter on the key.
Writing languages
Before you start entering letters, select the languages
you want to use when writing.
When writing, you can switch to one of your
selected languages by pressing and holding
