Using T9® Text Input - Motorola i325 User Manual

Using T9
Your i35s phone has embedded software, called T9
typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard: it
eliminates the traditional "multi-tap" method of text entry. As you type, you
press only one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes to words in
its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You
may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database,
which is incorporated into the T9 database.
T9 Text Input is available when you are typing information into your
Phonebook.
T9 Text Input Entry Modes
Four text entry modes are available in T9 Text Input: Alpha, Word, Symbols,
and Numeric. When you are using T9 Text Input, an icon in the top right corner
of your phone's display screen (next to the battery strength indicator icon)
indicates the T9 Text Input entry mode you are using:

When you are using Phonebook, you select your text entry mode from a menu
available whenever the phone is displaying a screen that requires you to enter
text (for example, the Name screen or Title screen).
