Entering Characters Using T9 Text Input
T9 Text Input lets you enter text into your phone by allowing
you to key in any character using single keystrokes. (To select
the T9 English mode when entering text, see “Selecting a
Character Input Mode” on page 65.)
T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive
built-in word database and creates a suitable word. (The
word may change as you type.) This mode applies grammar
rules to ensure that correct punctuation is used.
To enter a word using T9(English) Text Input:
1. Select the T9(English) character input mode. (See
“Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 65.)
2. Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter a
word. As an example, to enter the word “Bill”:
Ⅲ Press until the text input mode has cycled to
T9Ab. This keeps the word with only an initial
uppercase.
Ⅲ Press . (If you make a mistake,
press to erase a single character. Press and hold
to delete an entire entry.)
Tip:
To see the dictionary’s next word choice select Next.
Tip:
When entering text in this mode, press the * (Shift) key to
change letter capitalization (T9ab > T9Ab > T9AB) used on the
current word.
Tip:
