Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to
enter text. For example, when storing a name in
the phonebook, creating your personal greeting
or scheduling events in your calendar. You can
enter alphanumeric characters by using your
phone’s keypad.
You are provided with the following text input
modes.
• T9 mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only
one keystroke per letter. Each key on the
keypad has more than one letter – when you
press the
key once, J, K or L may be
displayed. The T9 mode automatically
compares your keystrokes with an internal
linguistic dictionary to determine the correct
word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than
the traditional upper/lower-case character
modes.
• Upper/lower-case character modes
These modes allow you to enter letters by
pressing the key labelled with the required
letter once, twice, three or four times until the
letter is displayed.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
