Section 3: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. It also describes
how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the
number of key strokes associated with entering text.
Using the Text Input Methods
The Text Mode option switches the key entry functions from
ABC (Alphabetic), T9 Alphabetic (predictive text mode), 123
(Numeric Mode), and Symbols Mode.
ABC (Alphabetic) Input Method (abc, Abc, and
ABC)
Use this input method to enter letters by pressing the key
labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice,
three, or four times until the desired letter displays.
The abc method makes all characters of the word lowercase.
The Abc method makes the initial character uppercase while
the remaining characters are lowercase. The ABC method
makes all characters of the word uppercase.
T9 Predictive Text Input Method (T9Eab, T9EAb,
and T9EAB)
Use this input method to enter words with only one keystroke
per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter;
for example, pressing can enter J, K, or L. However, the
T9 method automatically compares the series of keystrokes
you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the
most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional Alphabetic mode. The T9Eab method makes all
characters lowercase. The T9EAb method makes the initial
character an uppercase while the remaining characters are left
as lowercase. The T9EAB method makes all characters
uppercase.
Note:
