General Functions
Entering Text
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the
phone’s keypad. For example, storing names in the
Address Book, writing a message, or creating scheduling
events in the calendar all require entering text.
The following text input methods are available in the
phone.
T9 Mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter. The T9 mode automatically compares
your keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary to
determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
ABC Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the
key labeled with the required letter once, twice, three
or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 Mode (Numbers Mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number.
To change to 123 mode in a text entry field, press
key until 123 mode is displayed.
A long press changes mode to 123.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
n
Notice
You can select a different T9 language from the menu option.
The default setting on the phone is T9 disabled mode.
Changing the Text Input Mode
Change the text input mode by pressing . You can
check the current text input mode in the upper right
corner of the screen.
Using the T9 Mode
The T9 predictive text input mode allows you to enter
words easily with a minimum number of key presses.
As you press each key, the phone begins to display the
characters that it thinks you are typing based on a
built-in dictionary. As new letters are added, the word
changes to reflect the most likely candidate from the
dictionary.
