Traditional text input

Press a number key (1–9) repeatedly until the desired
character appears. There are more characters available

If the next letter is located on the same key as the present
one, wait until the cursor appears (or scroll right to end
the time-out period), and enter the letter.
To insert a space, press 0. To move the cursor to the next
line, press 0 three times.

Predictive text input

With predictive input, you can enter any letter with a
single keypress. Predictive text input is based on a built-

The word suggestion changes after each keypress.
