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 Insert 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.
