Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such
as when storing a name in Phonebook, creating your personal
greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
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, 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.
Alphabet 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.
Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols and special
characters.
