Entering Text
At many times while you are using your phone, you
need to enter text, such as when storing a name in
the Phonebook, writing a new message, creating
your personal greeting or scheduling events on your
calendar.
You are provided with 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 – when you press the 5
key once, J, K or L may be displayed. The T9
mode automatically compares your keystrokes
with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine
the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
• ABC mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labelled with the required letter once,
twice, three or four times until the letter displays.
• Symbolic mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
•Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
