Section 6: Text Input
This section guides you through the steps needed to
use the keypad for text input.

entry screen. An indicator for the current entry mode

options are available whenever you are prompted to
enter text (for example, within either Contacts entry or
Text/Picture Messaging).

based on the letters you've entered. A word can be
entered more quickly by pressing each key once per

text options are enabled, do not type out
the entire word, but rather, scroll through the list of
words provided and select the word you want.
