Input mode 
On many occasions you need to input text in your phone such as:  storing 
the name in your Address Book, writing a new message, creating a 
greeting, or scheduling events on your calendar. 
You can select from the following methods (modes) of inputting text in your 
phone. 
T9 mode 
You can input a letter using only one keystroke per letter.  
The keypad has more than one letter on it – 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 conventional ABC mode (see below). 
ABC mode 
In this mode, you input the letter you want by pressing the keypad once to 
select the first letter on the key, twice to select the second letter on the key, 
three times to select the third letter on the key and so on until the letter you 
want appears. 
123 mode 
You can input numbers in this mode. 
Symbol mode 
You can input special characters like Greek letters, currency units, or a 
period mark in this mode. 
To change text input mode 
When you are in an area where you can input text, the text input mode 
indicator is displayed at the bottom of your screen. 
 
Example: Typing a Text Message.

 key 
again as many times as necessary. 
To insert a space

 ] key to add a space.
