3. Text entry

Your phone offers four methods for entering text and numbers: Abc,
(sentence case, uppercase, and lowercase),
lowercase), 123, and Symbols. The following rules apply when entering text:
• Press CLR to backspace the cursor and delete a character.
• Press and hold CLR to backspace continuously and delete all characters.
• Press # to enter a space, thereby accepting a completed word, when in the
subject or text area of a message or entering a contact or group name.
• Press 1 to enter the symbol mode when in the subject or text area of a message.
• Press * to switch between sentence case (the first letter of entries or sentences
is capitalized and the following letters are lower case), uppercase and lowercase
in abc or word modes when in the text area of a message, or entering a contact
or group name.
• The entry mode selection key (usually the left selection key) displays the
currently selected entry mode (Abc, Word, 123, or Symbols).
■ Abc (multi-tap) mode
In the abc (or multi-tap) mode, to enter a letter, repeatedly press a key until the
letter you want appears.
Activate abc mode
Press the entry mode selection key, and select
uppercase. Press * to switch among sentence case, uppercase, and lowercase (abc).
Abc mode text entry
Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter,
and so on. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted, and your
phone awaits the next entry.
■ Word mode
Word mode is a predictive method of text entry using your keypad and the built-in
dictionary to quickly recognize the most commonly used word for a specific key
sequence. Word mode is much faster than the abc method because you only
press the corresponding key on your keypad once for each letter.
