Entering text
You can enter alphanumeric characters via the phone’s keypad. For example, storing names
in Contacts, writing a message and scheduling events in the calendar all require entering
text. The following text input methods are available in the phone: T9 predictive mode, ABC
manual mode and 123 mode.
Note: Some fi elds may allow only one text input mode (e.g. telephone number in address book
fi elds).
T9 predictive mode
T9 predictive mode uses a built-in dictionary to recognise words you’re writing based on
the key sequences you press. Simply press the number key associated with the letter you
want to enter, and the dictionary will recognise the word once all the letters are entered.
ABC manual mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labelled with the required letter
once, twice, three or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 mode
Type numbers using one keystroke per number. You can also add numbers while remaining
in letter modes by pressing and holding the desired key.
