Entering Text 44
Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode
when entering characters using the QWERTY keyboard-style
keypad. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive
text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes needed to
enter text.
The phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if it is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. If the
phone is sideways, an on-screen keypad is displayed. When
upright, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown.
The phone not only provides several on-screen keypad/keypad
text entry options, but also provides handwriting recognition to
make the task of text entry that much easier.
Using the QWERTY Keypad
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. Regardless of the
current setting with the Input Select field (page 48), the
on-screen QWERTY keypad will display.
