Punctuation and special characters

While at any text entry screen, press * to display special characters (press and hold *
if predictive text is on). Press * again to cycle through all available characters. You
can navigate through the list of special characters by using the Four-way scroll key.
When a character is highlighted, select Use to insert the character into your message.

■ Predictive text input

Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and
the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode method, because
for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.

Activate or deactivate

Predictive text is turned on or off, depending on its previous mode.
1. At any text entry screen, select Options > Predictive text.
2. Scroll to the language of your choice, and press Select.
