T9 Text Input lets you enter text by pressing keys just once per
letter. (To select the T9 Word mode when entering text, see

T9 Text Input uses an intuitive word database to analyze the
letters you enter and create a suitable word. (The word may
change as you type.)

Text Input Mode"on page 37.)
2.
Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter
a word. (For example, to enter the word "Bill,"press

If the word you want is not displayed after you have entered
all the letters, press

Adding a Word to the T9 Database
If a word you want to enter is not displayed as an option when
you are using T9 Text Input, add it to the database.
