Inputting Text
You can enter letters, for example, when you add names
to the phonebook, write text messages, or enter WAP
addresses.
Apart from the way you normally enter letters in your
phone, using multitap text input, you can use
T9 Text Input for entering text messages and email, for
example, if the input language you select supports this.
T9 Text Input is a predictive input method and is a
quicker way to write texts.
Before you start entering letters, you need to select the
input languages that you want to use when writing. The
available input methods are:

When saving names in the phonebook or when writing
WAP addresses, you enter letters using multitap text
input. You press each key as many times as needed to

1 Scroll to
Phonebook, Select, Add Contact, Select.
Press Select again.
2 Press the appropriate key,
1-9, 0, or # repeatedly until
the character you want appears in the display. See the

To enter an ‘
