Predictive text
You can key in any letter with a single keypress. Predictive text is based on a built-in
dictionary to which you can also add new words. For more instructions for writing text, see
“Tips for writing text” on page 25.

Press each key once for one letter. The word may change after each keystroke. For
example, to write Nokia with the English dictionary selected, press 6 once for N, 6 once
for o, 5 once for k, 4 once for i, and 2 once for a. To insert a number while in letter
mode, press and hold the desired number key.
2 When you have finished writing the word and it is correct, confirm it by pressing 0 to
add a space or by moving the joystick to the right.
3 If the word is not the one you are looking for, press
* repeatedly, or select
Options > Matches.
4 When the word you want appears, confirm it.
If the ? character appears after the word, the word that you intended to write is not in
the dictionary.
5 To add a word to the dictionary, select Spell, key in the word (traditional text input is
used), and select Save.
When the dictionary becomes full, the new word replaces the oldest one that was added.

Key in the first part of the word, and confirm it by moving the joystick to the right. Write
the last part of the word, and confirm it by moving the joystick to the right.
