Predictive text input
Predictive text input allows you to write text quickly using the phone keypad and a built-in dictionary.
1. Start writing a word using the 2 to 9 keys. Press each key only once for one letter. The phone displays * or
the letter if it separately has a meaning as a word. The entered letters are displayed underlined.
If you selected Word suggestions as prediction type, the phone starts to predict the word you are writing.
After you enter a few letters, and if these entered letters are not a word, the phone tries to predict longer
words. Only the entered letters are displayed underlined.
To insert a special character, press and hold *, or select Options > Insert symbol. Scroll to a character, and
select Use.
2. When you finish writing the word and it is correct, to confirm it, press 0 to add space.
If the word is not correct, press * repeatedly, or select Options > Matches. When the word that you want
appears, select Use.
If the ? character is displayed after the word, the word you intended to write is not in the dictionary. To add
the word to the dictionary, select Spell. Complete the word (traditional text input is used), and select Save.
To write a compound word, enter the first part of the word, and scroll forward to confirm it. Write the next part
of the word, and confirm the word.
Traditional text input
Press a number key, 1 to 9, repeatedly until the desired character appears. Not all characters available under a
number key are printed on the key. The characters available depend on the selected writing language. See
Settings p. 36.
If the next letter you want is located on the same key as the present one, wait until the cursor appears, or
briefly press any of the navigation keys and enter the letter.
The most common punctuation marks and special characters are available under the 1 key. For more
characters, press *.
