Creating Messages
You can start creating a new message from Messaging. You can also create a new
message from Contacts. After you create a message, you can send it. See “Sending and
Receiving Messages” on page 65.
You can create messages by switching to the account to use, opening a new message,
addressing it, and then composing the message. For information about entering text on
the Smartphone, see “The Basics” on page 20.
Tip: You can quickly enter e-mail addresses from your contact cards. In To, press O
and select a recipient from the list. Then, select the recipient’s e-mail address.
To insert punctuation such as the “at” sign (@), a period (.), or a semicolon (;),
repeatedly press 1 in Multipress mode until the punctuation appears or press
and hold # to view a list of symbols that you can enter as text.
To cancel a message, select Menu and then Cancel Compose.
