Entering Text
At many times while you are using your phone, you 
need to enter text, such as when storing a name in 
the Phonebook, writing a new message, creating 
your personal greeting or scheduling events on your 
calendar.
You are provided with the following text input 
modes:
• Neopad Hindi mode
*
This mode allows you to enter Hindi words with 
virtual keypad which gives the user option to 
select one of five letters assigned on keys easily 
and user-friendly features like built-in dictionary 
stored over 13,000 Hindi. 
• 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 – when you press the 5 
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 traditional ABC mode.
• ABC mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing 
the key labelled with the required letter once, 
twice, three or four times until the letter displays.
• Symbolic mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
