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.
Note
v Some fields may allow only one text input mode
(e.g. telephone number in address book fields).
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.
Changing the Text Input Mode

mode indicator in the upper right corner of the
display.

available modes are changed.
