Selecting a Character Input Mode
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter words, letters,

right soft key for Options.
2. Select a character input mode:
• Alpha to enter characters by tapping the keypad
(see page 27).
• T9(English) to enter characters using predictive T9
Text Input (see page 26).
• Symbols to enter symbols (see page 28).
• Number to enter numbers (see page 28).
• Quick text to enter pre-defined sentences.
• www to enter common letter combinations in URLs
(for example, www., .com, or http://).
Entering Characters Using T9 Text Input
T9 Text Input lets you enter text in your phone by pressing keys just
once per letter. To select the T9(English) mode when entering text,
see "Selecting a Character Input Mode" on page 26.
T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive word
database and creates a suitable word. (The word may change as you
type.) If the word you want does not display after you have entered all
the letters, press to scroll through additional word selections.
