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

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
