associated with entering text.
Changing the Text Input Method
When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such as when
writing a message, storing a name in the Phonebook, creating your personal
greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric
characters by using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• Speedy word Input Method
: This mode allows you to enter words
with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter; for example, pressing
can enter G or H.
However, the Speedy word input method automatically compares
the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic
dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far
fewer keystrokes than the Multi-tap input method.
