4 • Text or number entry
Text can be entered in editing screens in two different
ways: by using T9
®
predictive Text Input, or basic
text input. Two other modes for numbers and
punctuation marks are also available. Icons appearing
on the screen show the active text mode.
Reminder: the on-screen keyboard allows you to enter
text using the stylus pen, like you would do on a PC
keyboard. Using the stylus is equivalent to pressing the
actual keys.
T9
®
predictive Text Input is an intelligent editing
mode for messages, including a comprehensive
dictionary. It allows you to quickly enter text. Press
only once on the key corresponding to each letter
needed to spell a word: keystrokes input are analysed
and the word suggested by T9
®
is displayed in the edit
screen. If several words are available according to the
keys used, the word you entered is highlighted: press
<
or
>
to browse the list and to choose from
those proposed by the T9
®
built-in dictionary (see
example below).
