Entering Text in Portrait Mode
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter letters,
numbers, and symbols whenever you are prompted to
enter text (for example, when adding a Contacts entry
or when using Sprint Mail and Text Messaging).
In this section we’ll cover the steps necessary to enter
text while the phone is in portrait mode where the
keypad is the primary method of both text and
character entry.

1. From a screen where you can enter text, press
OPTIONS (right softkey) > Text Mode to change the
text input mode.
2. Select one of the following options:
Ⅲ Predictive Text to enter text using a predictive text
system that reduces the number of keypresses
required while entering a word. (See page 32.)
Ⅲ Smiley’s to enter “emoticons.” (See page 33.)
Ⅲ Symbols to enter symbols. (See page 33.)
Ⅲ Text Settings to configure these options:
