Entering Characters Using T9 Text Input
T9 Text Input lets you enter text in your phone by pressing
keys just once per letter. (To select the T9 [English] mode when
entering text, see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on
page 34.)
T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive
word database and creates a suitable word. (The word may
change as you type.) If the word you want does not display
after you have entered all the letters, press
to scroll
through additional word selections. To accept a word and
insert a space, press .
If you make a mistake, press to erase a single character.
Press and hold to delete an entire entry.
To enter text using T9:
1. From the text entry screen (for example, a new event in
scheduler), press and select T9 (English).
2. Use your keypad to enter the new event. (For example,
to enter “Meeting”, press once, twice,
once, once, once, and once.)
