Entering text

You can enter alphanumeric characters
using the keypad. For example, storing
names in Contacts, writing a message,
creating a personal greeting or scheduling
events in the calendar all require entering
text. The following text input methods are
available with the handset.
T9 mode
This mode lets you enter words with
only one keystroke per letter. Each key
on the keypad has more than one
letter. The T9 mode automatically
compares your keystrokes with an
internal dictionary to determine the
correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC
mode. This is sometimes known as
predictive text.
ABC mode
This mode lets you enter letters by
pressing the key labelled with the
required letter once, twice, three or
four times until the letter is displayed.

General Functions

123 mode (Number mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per
number. To change to 123 mode in a
text entry field, press
mode is displayed.

Changing the text input mode

1. When you are in a field that allows
characters to be entered, you will notice
the text input mode indicator in the
upper right corner of the LCD screen.
2. Press to switch between T9Abc,
T9abc, T9ABC, ABC, Abc, abc and 123.

Using the T9 Mode

The T9 predictive text input mode allows
you to enter words easily with a minimum
number of key presses. As you press each
key, the handset begins to display the
characters that it thinks you are
typing based on a built-in dictionary. As
new letters are added, the word changes
to reflect the most likely candidate from
the dictionary.
