the phone's keypad. For example, storing
names in Contacts, writing a message and
creating scheduling events in the calendar
all require entering text. The following text
input methods are available in the phone:
T9 predictive mode, ABC manual mode and
123 mode.
Note: Some fields may allow only one text
input mode (e.g. telephone number in address
book fields).
To turn on T9 mode in the text entry field,
choose Options, select Set T9 and choose
On. With T9 on, you can switch text input
mode by pressing
text input mode indicator in the upper right
corner of the display.
To input a symbol in the text entry field, press
the key and select a symbol, then
select OK.
Complete each word with a space by
pressing 0.

T9 predictive mode
T9 predictive mode uses a built-in dictionary
to recognise words you're writing based on
the key sequences you press. Simply press
the number key associated with the letter
you want to enter, and the dictionary will
recognise the word once all the letters are
entered. For example, press 8, 3, 5, 3, 7, 4,
6, 6, 3 to write 'telephone'.
If the word you want doesn't appear, touch
Options and select New T9 word, then you
can enter the word using ABC manual mode.
Your word will be added to the dictionary.
Note: You can select a different T9 language
by touching Options and select Writing
language.
ABC manual mode
In ABC manual mode you may need to
press the key repeatedly to enter a letter.
For example, to write 'hello', press 4 twice,
3 twice, 5 three times, 5 three times again,
then 6 three times.
123 mode
Type numbers using one keystroke per
number. You can also add numbers whilst
remaining in letter modes by pressing and
holding the desired key.
