Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad, select the Alpha mode
(see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 28). Press the
corresponding key repeatedly until the desired character appears.
By default, the first letter of the first word is capitalized and
following letters are lowercase.
To enter text using Alpha:
1. From a text entry screen (for example, a phone book entry),
press
and select Alpha.
2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For example, to
enter "Bill", press
twice, three times, three
times, and three times again.)
Characters scroll in the following order:

next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a
different key.
