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. 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.
You can set on and off for the T9 input
mode.
ABC Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters
by pressing the key labeled with the
required letter once, twice, three or
four times until the letter is displayed.
123 Mode (Numbers Mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per
number. To change to 123 mode in a
text entry field, press
key until 123
mode is displayed.
A long press changes mode to 123.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special
characters.
Changing the Text Input
Mode
Change the text input mode by
pressing
. You can check the
current text input mode in the upper
right corner of the screen.
Using the T9 Mode
The T9 predictive text input mode
allows you to enter words easily with a
minimum number of key presses. As
you press each key, the phone begins
to display the characters that it thinks
you are typing based on a built-in
dictionary. As new letters are added,
the word changes to reflect the most
likely candidate from the dictionary.
Notice
The default setting on the phone is
T9 disabled mode.
