For character entry when writing SMS messages, see page 43.
The handset dial keys are used to enter characters and numbers. Each dial key has multiple characters 
assigned to it. The available character entry modes are, LetterWise, Alphabet, Numeric, Greek, 
Extended 1, Extended 2, and Cyrillic. When in Alphabet (ABC), Greek (F), Extended 1 (G), 
Extended 2 (H), or Cyrillic (I) character entry modes, you can select which character is entered by 
pressing a dial key repeatedly.

When the handset displays the character entry screen:
Press {<} or {>} to move the cursor.
Press dial keys to enter characters and numbers.
Press {C/T} to erase the character or number highlighted by the cursor. Press and hold {C/T} to 
erase all characters or numbers.
Press {*} to switch between uppercase and lowercase.
To enter another character located on the same dial key, press {>} to move the cursor to the next 
space, then press the appropriate dial key. (This is not necessary when entering text in LetterWise 
mode.)
11.1.1 Character entry modes
Several character entry modes are available. When the handset displays the character entry screen, 
press {k}, then select a character entry mode, and press {>}. The default mode is Alphabet.
LetterWise character table (for English)
LetterWise is a simplified text entry system which suggests the most likely letter to follow the previously 
entered text. Text can be input faster because the number of key presses are reduced. You can change 
which language is used for LetterWise character entry (page 77).
