Rapid Character Entry
Rapid character entry is easy in any mode, using
the Character Selection Map. As you enter
characters, your phone predicts the next
character you might want and presents choices
in the Character Selection Map area. When a
desired character appears, you may select it as
described in Step 3 on page 49.
In most cases, you will see the desired character
in the Character Selection Map area before you
have entered all of the strokes to build it.
For example, try typing the twelve stroke
character pair
keystrokes; 2, 8, and 7. Even though
twelve stroke character pair, your phone enables
you to type it in only three key presses!

Using the Quick English Mode

This mode allows you to enter English words
with only one key press per letter. Each key on a

English mode automatically compares your key
presses to an internal linguistic database to
determine the correct word.
The mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the
t raditional multi-tap method, English mode.
