Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode
when entering characters using the phone keypad or the nested,
QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. This section also describes how
to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number
of key strokes needed to enter text.
The a877 comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. If the
phone is sideways, an onscreen keyboard is displayed. When
upright, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown.
The a877 not only provides several on screen keypad/keypad text
entry options, but also provides handwriting recognition to make
the task of text entry that much easier.
Built-in QWERTY Keypad
Your a877 has a built-in, keyboard-style keypad, commonly
called QWERTY, that you can access by sliding it open from
beneath the top section of the phone. This also automatically
rotates the image in the display to show information in a wider,
landscape format. Using the QWERTY keypad, you can type
letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special characters into
text entry fields or other applications simpler and faster than
using the telephone keypad.
