The text editor
The text editor enables you to enter text in e.g. SMS,
MMS and E-mail. You enter and edit text using the
keypad and the Navigator button. The limited keypad
requires that each key must be used for more than one
letter and also for the numbers 0 to 9. To facilitate
this, the editor has different input modes, known as
“ABC”, “T9” and “123”.

You can switch between the modes by long-pressing the
#
key once for each new mode. Ampersands, question
marks and other symbols are available in a pop-up
menu, if you long-press the
*
key. A long-press on the
keys 2-9 in text mode will produce the corresponding
digit and return to the selected text mode.
A counter in the top right corner of the display
indicates the remaining number of characters available.
ABC mode
This is the simple text entering function. Each of
the keys 2-9 has three or four letters printed on it,
“ABC” on the 2-key, “DEF” on the 3-key and so forth.
To enter an “A”, pres the 2-key once, to enter a “B”
two presses are required and you must press the 2-key
three times in succession to enter a “C”. Apply the
appropriate number of key strokes to spell your way
through the message you want to write. While you
type, the selected letter will be shown in a box on the
display. Should you need two consecutive letters on the
same key, you must pause a second before pressing the
second letter.
Space is on the 1-key, comma and period on the #-key.
Delete on the
C
-key.
T9, the predictive text editor
To simplify the writing process, you can apply the
[t9gb.bmp] text editor and dictionary with learning
capability. By suggesting, while you type, the most
commonly used words, or words you frequently use, it
will allow you to write quickly.
When using T9, select the key with the letter in the
word you want to type.
Only press each key once
even
though the character you want may be number two or
three on the specifi c key. You will experience that the
word you are entering will change as you type and
you
should not try to make corrections in the word
before
you have fi nished typing it.
Example:
To write the word “telephone”, press the
sequence: 8-3-5-3-7-4-6-6-3. Note that you only need
nine key presses, one for each letter in the word,
whereas writing the same word in ABC mode requires
17 presses.
In many cases the text editor will fi nd that one or more
words can be spelled with the combination used and
present these in a list. Press down arrow while the
word is highlighted until the desired word is displayed,
then enter space (1-key) and proceed with writing.
Should T9 fail in recognizing the word, such as personal
names or unusual words you can select ABC in the
Options
menu or by a long-press on the # key and spell
the word manually.
