Entering letters

There are two ways of entering letters, for example,
when writing a message or writing a name in the
phonebook:
• Multitap text input
You press each key as many times as needed for
the letter you want.
• T9™ Text Input
,
The T9 Text Input method uses a built-in
dictionary to recognize the most commonly used
word for each sequence of key presses. This way,
you press each key only once, even if the letter you
want is not the first letter on the key.
To use T9 Text Input, you must select either Standard
abc or 123... as the writing language.
Writing languages
Before you start entering letters, you need to select
the languages that you want to use.
When writing, you can switch to one of your
selected languages by pressing and holding
