Entering Text
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using
the phone’s keypad. For example, storing names in
the Address Book, writing a message, creating
scheduling events in the calendar all require
entering text.
The following text input methods are available in the
phone.
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.
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.
Symbolic Mode
This mode allows you to enter special characters.

indicator in the upper right corner of the display.
