Using T9 Mode
To enter text using T9 (predictive input) mode:
1. Rotate your phone counterclockwise to Landscape orientation.
2. Touch the Text Input Mode button at the bottom left of the screen until 
it says 123Sym. If the Text Input Mode Indicator at top right corner of 
the screen indicates one of the alphabet modes, press the T9 Mode 
Selector to turn T9 mode on (indicator on the T9 key turns green). The 
Text Input Mode Indicator should now indicate one of the T9 modes 
(T9Ab, T9AB, T9ab).
3. Start entering the letters of the word. As you type, the built-in dictionary
matches the letters to commonly used words and a pop-up list of words 
appears.
4. Use the up and down navigation keys to scroll through the list until the
correct word is shown, then touch the word. If the word is not in the list, 
continue typing letters until it appears or you have entered the entire 
word.
