T9 text input technology
This phone has one of the world's most developed
text input software systems - T9. The T9 Text Input
software is a technology for enabling rapid entry of
text on reduced-key keypads - one press for each
letter is enough.
On phone keypads, as well as in other reduced-key
keypads, one key is assigned more than one letter
or function, and selecting a letter is normally done
by pressing the key however many times necessary
to get the letter desired. T9 removes this necessity
by using a database with a vocabulary and linguis-
tic rules that recognizes which word you are writ-
ing.
If there is more than one word possible for the key
combination, T9 will choose the most commonly
used word and also allow selection from a list.
