Changing the Text Input Mode
The Text Input option switches the key entry functions 
from T9 Mode, ABC Mode, Numeric Mode, and Symbols 
Mode.
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; for example, pressing the 5 key can enter 
J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares 
the series of keystrokes you make with an internal 
linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, 
thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional 
Alphabet mode.
ABC Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key 
labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, 
twice, three, or four times until it displays.
Numeric Mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbols Mode
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as 
punctuation marks.
