Linked Contacts

Your phone can synchronize with multiple accounts, including Google, Corporate Exchange, and other email providers, plus social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. When you synchronize contacts from these accounts with your phone, you may have multiple contacts for one person.

Linking imported contact records to a phone contact allows you to see all the contact’s numbers and addresses together in one Contact entry. Linking also helps you keep your contacts updated, because any changes that your contacts make to their information in the respective accounts is automatically updated the next time you synchronize with the account.

Note:

Phone contacts are always the primary contact for linking. You can link

imported contacts to a Phone contact, but the Phone contact will always display; the imported contact will show as the linked contact.

Section 5: Entering Text

Swype Keyboard

This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation and numbers when you need to enter text.

Virtual QWERTY Keyboard

Your phone uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the keyboard by touching any text entry field.

The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the screen. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

Text Input Methods

Your phone offers two text input methods:

•

Swype

: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction, which matches your key touches to common words.

•

Android Keyboard

: The Android Keyboard is a virtual QWERTY keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. Android Keyboard includes predictive text, which matches your key touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter it into your text.

Changing the Input Method

When entering text, you can select the text input method.

Entering Text 53

Page 59

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.

This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

•

Spacing is automatic

: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and

start the next word.

•

Double letters

•

Capitalization

: Just “scribble” on the key.

: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t at the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the next letter.

•

Contractions

: Swype recognizes most words that include an apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the apostrophe.

•

Punctuation

: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and

make a selection.

•

Accented characters

: Just glide through the letters of the word.

Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.

•

Error correction

: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you

want to change.

Configuring Swype

Configure Swype to your preferences.
