Text entry
• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and
the built-in phone dictionary. It is much faster than using the standard mode
multitap method. You can use predictive text to write a message, create a calendar
note, and make a to-do list.
Note: When predictive text is on, the icon appears in the upper left
corner of the display. When predictive text is off, the icon appears in
the upper left corner of the display.
