text and numbers:

easy method for writing messages,
creating a calendar note, or making
a to-do list.

Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press the *
key to display special characters (press
and hold the * key if predictive text is on).
You can navigate through the list of
special characters by using the four-way
scroll key. Once a character is
highlighted, press Insert

• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT

Predictive text input allows you to write
messages quickly using your keypad and
the phone's built-in dictionary. It is much
faster the standard mode method,
because for each letter, you only press
the corresponding key on your keypad
once.
