Write Text; On-Screen Keyboard - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic User Manual

5. Write text

You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters in
several different ways. The on-screen keyboards allow you to
enter characters by tapping them with your fingers or the
stylus. Handwriting recognition allows you to write
characters directly onto the screen using the stylus as a pen.
Tap any text input field to enter letters, numbers, and special
characters.
Your device can complete words based on the built-in
dictionary for the selected text input language. The device
also learns new words from your input.
