Punctuation and special
characters
While at any text entry screen, press *
to display special characters (press and
hold * if predictive text is on). Press *
again to cycle through all available
characters. Scroll to navigate through
the list of special characters. Once a
character is highlighted, select Use to
insert the character into your message.
■ Predictive text mode
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.
Activate and deactivate
At any text entry screen, select and
hold Options to turn predictive text on
or off depending on previous mode; or,
select Options > Dictionary on or
Dictionary off. Press # twice to change
from predictive text mode to standard
mode and back.
Enter text

To return to the previous word in
the list of matches, select Previous.
