Traditional text input

Tap a number key (1-9) repeatedly until the desired character appears. There are
more characters available for a number key than are visible on the key.
If the next letter is located on the same key as the 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

With predictive text input, you can enter any word with a single key selection.
Predictive text input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add new
words. The predictive text dictionary is not available for all languages.
1. To activate predictive text input for all editors on the device, select
Activate prediction. You can also select
2. To write the desired word, use the keys 2-9. Select each key only once for one
letter. For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is selected,
select 6 for N, 6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.
The word suggestion changes after each key selection.
3. When you finish writing the word correctly, move the cursor right to confirm it,
or select 0 to add a space.
If the word is not correct, select * repeatedly to view the matching words the
dictionary has found one by one.
If the ? character is displayed 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.
