T9 Mode
The T9 mode allows you to enter words easily
with only one keystroke per letter. Each key
on the keypad has more than one letter.

keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary
to determine the correct word, thus requiring
far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC
mode.
Note

the Options menu (
Options > Text
Entry Settings > Language).
