character appears. There are more characters available
for a number key than are visible on the key.

present one, wait until the cursor appears (or move the
cursor forward to end the time-out period), and enter
the letter.
To insert a space, tap 0. To move the cursor to the next
line, tap 0 three times.
Predictive text input

each key only once for one letter. For example, to
write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is
selected, tap 6 for N, 6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2
for a.
The word suggestion changes after each tap of a
key.
3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move
the cursor right to confirm it, or tap 0 to add a space.
If the word is not correct, tap * repeatedly to view
the matching words the dictionary has found one
by one.
If the ? character is shown after the word, the word
is not in the dictionary. To add a word to the
dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using
traditional text input, and select OK. The word is
added to the dictionary. When the dictionary is full,
a new word replaces the oldest added word.
