When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity
Module) card. The SIM card contains a computer
chip that keeps track of your phone number, the
services included in your subscription, and names
and numbers in your contacts, among other things.
If you have been using a SIM card in another phone,
make sure that your information is saved to the
SIM card before you remove it from the other phone.
For example, contacts may have been saved in the

when writing a message or writing a name in
contacts:
• Multitap text input
You press each key as many times as needed to

word for each sequence of key presses. This way,
you press each key only once, even if the letter you
want is not the first letter on the key.
Writing languages
Before you start entering letters, you need to select
the languages that you want to use when writing.

File manager
Use the file manager to handle files (for example,
pictures, video clips and sounds) saved in the
phone memory and on the Memory Stick Duo.
Items such as Pictures, Videos, Sounds, Themes,

are saved in the Other folder. You can create your
own subfolders in some predefined folders, to
which you can move your saved files.
When handling files, you can select several or all
files in a folder at the same time. You can move
and copy files between the Memory Stick Duo and
the phone. Icons indicate where the files are saved.
