Entering Text       23

Section 5: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode 
when entering characters into your phone. This section also 
describes how to use the T9 predictive text system to reduce the 
number of key strokes associated with entering text.

Changing the Text Input Mode

When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as 
when storing a name in your Phonebook, creating your personal 
greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter 
alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad. 

Your phone has the following text input modes:

• 

: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per 

letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example, 

pressing 

 can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode 

automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an 

internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus 

requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.

• 

: this mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key 

labeled with the letter you want.

• 

Number: this mode allows you to enter numbers.

• 

: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation 

marks.

When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, the 
text input mode indicator displays on the bottom right of the 
screen.

Example: Writing a text message.

To change the text input mode, press the Right soft key.

Scroll to the mode you prefer and press the 

 soft key 

or 

. The text input mode indicator displays in the 

lower right corner of your display.
