Entering Text 39
Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode
when entering characters using the 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 a887 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 a887 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.
Using the QWERTY Keyboard
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. Regardless of the
current setting with the
Input Select
field (page 43), the onscreen
QWERTY keyboard will display.
