■ Predictive text input
Predictive text input allows you to
write messages quickly using your
keypad and the built-in dictionary. It
is much faster than the standard
mode method, because for each
letter, you only press the
corresponding key on your keypad
once.
When you use Dictionary on, as you
press the # key, the following icons
(not the descriptions) appear in the
upper left of the display screen:
Uppercase text: predictive
text is on
Lowercase text:
predictive text is on
Activate/deactivate
At any text entry screen, press and
hold Options. Predictive text is
turned on and off, depending on its
previous mode.
