Text input
You can use the dial pad or the text input soft keys to edit and enter text in the text input fields of
the phone.
Input field
Depending on the application and context, a text input field is a text box with a label. The user
interface displays labels on the left side of the text box or in the line preceding the text box. An
input field can be blank or display a current value that can be modified. The user interface displays
input cursors on the right side of the current value or, if the input field is blank, on the left side of
the text box.
Hint text
Depending on the application and context, a text box contains hint text. The user interface
displays hint text on the left side of the text box in grey, italic font. The interface replaces the hint
text with the actual text that you enter. The interface displays the hint text again when you clear
the entered text. The interface does not display the hint text if the field contains a value.
Text truncation
When the space in the input area cannot display the full current value, the user interface truncates
the text. The interface truncates the text from the left side and displays a blank space with a cursor
on the right side of the input field for a new entry. When you enter a new character, the interface
truncates the existing character from the left side of the display.
Active language text direction
When the text direction of the active language is right-to-left, the text entry rules are reversed. The
user interface:
• Displays the hint text on the right side of the text box.
• Displays the input cursor on the left side of the current character or, if the input field is blank,
on the right side.
• Displays the new character on the left side of the current character.
• Deletes the character on the right side of the cursor when you press
