Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text
input mode for entering characters with your phone.
This section also describes how to use the T9
predictive text system to reduce the number of key
strokes needed for entering text.
Changing the Text Input Mode
When using your phone, you often need to enter
text, such as when storing a name in your Contacts,
creating your personal greeting or scheduling events
on your calendar. You enter alphanumeric characters
by using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
When you are in a field that allows characters to be
entered, the text input mode indicator displays on
the upper, right part of the screen.
T9 • : this mode allows you to enter words with
only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the
keypad has more than one letter; for example,
pressing
can enter J, K, or L. However,
the T9 mode automatically compares the
series of keystrokes you make with an internal
dictionary to determine the most likely word,
thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional ABC mode.
