Entering letters

You can enter letters, for example, when you add names to the Phonebook, write text messages or enter WAP addresses.

Apart from the way you normally enter letters in your phone, using multitap text input, you can use T9™ Text Input for entering text messages and e-mail, for example, if the input language you select supports this. T9™ Text Input is a predictive input method and is a quicker way to write texts. See “T9™ Text Input” on page 15.
