Entering text
At many times while you are using your phone, you
need to enter text, such as when storing a name in
the Phonebook, writing a new message, creating
your personal greeting or scheduling events on your
calendar.
You are provided with the following text input
modes:
T9 mode
*
This mode allows you to enter words with only
one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad
has more than one letter – when you press the
5
key once, J, K or L may be displayed. The T9
mode automatically compares your keystrokes
with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine
the correct word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
ABC mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labelled with the required letter once,
twice, three or four times until the letter displays.
Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbolic mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
