30 Section 2A: Your Phone: The Basics
Entering Text
Your phone provides convenient ways to enter
letters, numbers, and symbols whenever you are
prompted to enter text (for example, when adding
a Contacts entry or when using email and text
messaging).
Select a Text Input Mode
You can use the touch keypad or the QWERTY
keyboard. While you are using the touch keypad,
you can switch to and from the QWERTY
keyboard.
To change the character input mode:
1. From a screen where you can enter text,
touch to change the text input mode.
2. Select one of the following options:
n
Predictive to enter text using a predictive
text entry system that reduces the number
of keystrokes required to enter a word.
n
Abc to use multi-touch entry – touch
once for “a,” twice for “b”, three times for
“c.”
n
123 to enter numbers by touching the
numbers on the keypad.
n
Symbols to enter symbols.
n
Emoticon to enter “emoticons.”
n
Smiley to enter smileys.
Tip: When entering text, touch or press to change
letter capitalization ( Abc > ABC > abc ).
Predictive Text Input
Predictive Text Input lets you enter text using a few
keystrokes per word.
Predictive Text Input uses an intuitive word
database to analyze the letters you enter and
create a suitable word. The word may change as
you type.
