Entering Text
When using your phone, you will need to enter
text at many times; for example, when storing a
name in Phone Book, creating a text message, or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
T9(English)
•
words with only one keypress per letter. Each
key on a keypad has more than one letter; for
example, when you press once, J,K or L
displays. The T9(English) mode automatically
compares your key presses to an internal
linguistic database to determine the correct
word thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than
the traditional multi-tap method, Alphabet
mode.
Alphabet
•
letters by pressing the key labelled with the
letter you want once, twice, or three times until
the letter displays.
Symbol
•
symbols, punctuation marks, and special
characters.
Number

numbers.
