Entering Text

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the phone’s keypad. For example, storing names in the

Address Book, writing a message, or creating scheduling events in the calendar all require entering text.

The following text input methods are available in the phone.

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. 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 ABC mode.

ABC Mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the required letter once, twice, three or four times until the letter is displayed.

123 Mode (Numbers Mode)

Type numbers using one keystroke per number.
