Section 4: Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount
of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:
Samsung Keypad: Samsung's on-screen QWERTY keypad that
•
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
Swype: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
•
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word.
To change the input method, see "Select input method" on
page 107.

Using the Samsung Keypad

This QWERTY keypad can be used to enter text in either portrait
or landscape orientation. The only difference between the two
orientations are the sizes of the keys.
