General Functions
T9 Mode
The T9 mode allows you to enter words easily
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.
Note
You can select a different T9 language from
the
Options menu ( Options >
Text Entry Settings > Text Entry
Language ).
123 Mode (Numbers Mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number.
To change to 123 mode in a text entry field,
press the
key until 123 mode is
displayed in the upper right corner.
Symbol Mode
The Symbol Mode enables you to enter
various symbols or special characters. To enter
a symbol, press the
key. Use the
navigation keys to highlight the desired symbol
and press the
key.
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.
