3. Text entry
The Nokia 6305i phone offers several methods for entering text and numbers:
T9Word (sentence, all caps, and lowercase), Abc, ABC, 123, and Symbols.
• Press the clear key to backspace the cursor and delete a character.
• Press and hold the clear key to backspace continuously and delete all characters.
• Press # to enter a space, thereby accepting a completed word, when in the
subject or text area of a message, or entering a contact or group name.
• Press 1 to enter the symbol mode, when in the subject or text area of a message.
• Press * to switch between sentence case, upper case and lower case when in
T9Word or Abc mode when in the text area of a message, or entering a contact
or group name. Press and hold * each time to switch between T9Word, Abc,
and 123 modes when in the text area of a message, or entering a contact or
group name.
• Press the entry mode soft key, and select Symbols to insert special characters
into your message. Depending on which screen you are viewing, this may be
either the left or right selection key. The entry mode soft key will display the
currently selected entry mode (T9Word, Abc, ABC, 123, or Symbols). Symbols
are not allowed in contact or group names.
■ T9Word (T9) mode
T9 mode allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and the built-in
dictionary. T9 mode is much faster than the standard mode method because you
only press the corresponding key on your keypad once for each letter.
Activate or deactivate
To activate or deactivate T9, at any text entry screen press the entry mode soft
key, and scroll through the options.
