Sony Ericsson P990i Betriebsanweisung

When you press a key, a pre-edit box with the different 
characters on that key is shown in the title area: 

If the same key is pressed again, the next character in the 
pre-edit box will be selected.
Note: To enter digits you can also press and hold the 
corresponding key.
The 

 key deletes the character to the left of the 

cursor. If continuously pressed, the key deletes several 
characters and then whole words.

The Predictive text method uses up to two language 
dictionaries to recognize the most commonly used 
words for each sequence of key presses. In addition, 
word completion and next word prediction software is 
used to complete or predict words without requiring 
every letter to be entered. This way, you only need to 
press each key once at the most, even if the letter you 
want is not the first letter on the key.
The following example shows how to start writing text.

1. Select, for example, 

.

2. If you want to write the word “tomorrow”, press 

. During text entry, a 

suggestion list with word candidates is presented. 

The most frequently used word is shown where you 

are writing, and is also highlighted in the suggestion 

list.

3. If the word shown is the word you want:

– Press 

 or press the Jog Dial inwards to 

accept the word. (The word tomorrow only 

requires four key presses with the Predictive text 

method.) 

To accept the word and add a space, press 

.

If the word shown is not the one you want:
– Scroll with the navigation key or the Jog Dial up 

or down to view alternative word suggestions. 
Press 

 to accept the word.

If you do not find the word you want:
– Select 

.

– Edit the word using Multitap text and select 

. The word is added to the user dictionary. 

The next time you enter the word, it will appear 

as one of the alternative words.
