Section 5: Entering Text

Portrait Keyboard Landscape Keyboard

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode when entering characters into yo ur phone. This section

also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes associated with
entering text.

Portrait Keypad and QWERTY Keyboard

The keyboard displays in two formats: Portrait (upright) is a keypad, and Landscape (sideways) is a QWERTY
keyboard. Depending on which format you are using (portrait or QWERTY), the keys are associated with different
letters and/or characters. Refer to the following layouts to determine which keys are associated with letters,
characters, or symbols.

Entering Text 60

Changing the Text Input Mode

When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Contacts List, 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

: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. 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 ABC mode.

•

SYM/123

: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks. You can also enter numbers using this mode.

•

ABC

: this mode allows you to enter letters by touching the key labeled with the letter you want.

When you are in a field that allows character entry, the text input mode indicator displays on the lower portion of the
screen (second icon from the left).

Example:

Writing a text message.

䊳

To change the text input mode, touch the screen, then touch T9 (to toggled T9 Off or On). Or touch

mode is based on a built-in dictionary.

To enter a word in T9 mode:

1. When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by touching the QWERTY keypad. Touch each key only once

for each letter.

Word choices display on the screen just below the workspace.

The word that you are typing displays on the screen. It may change with each consecutive key that you

touch.

2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the keystrokes.

3. When the word correctly displays, go to step 4.

If the word doesn’t display correctly, other word choices display on the screen from which to choose. If these

How Wi-Fi Works

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use Wi-Fi you need access to a
wireless access point (hotspot).

What This Means to You

When you are not in range of a Wi-Fi connection, your normal cellular network takes over and keeps you
connected. Your phone switches automatically from Wi-Fi to cellular whenever it's necessary to maintain your
connection, whether your phone is displaying the Home screen or in the middle of an active call. The switching
process is virtually unnoticeable.

Activating for the First Time and connecting to a Wireless Network

“T-Mobile HotSpot Connections” on page 98.

Note:

The next time the phone connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network, you are not prompted to enter the security
key again, unless you reset your phone to the factory default settings.
