Tap Text Entry Rules
• Press a keypad key repeatedly to cycle through its
characters.
• Press S left or right to move the flashing cursor to
the left or right in a text message.
• The first character of every sentence is capitalised. If
necessary, press S down to force the character to
lowercase before the cursor moves to the next
position.
• If you enter or edit information and do not want to save
the changes, press to exit without saving.
5.13.3 Using iTAP™ Mode
iTAP™ software provides a predictive text entry mode that
lets you enter a word using one keypress per letter. This can
be faster than Tap, because your phone combines the
keypresses into common words.
