Section 4: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount
of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Text Input Methods
There are three text input methods available:
•
Samsung Keypad
: Samsung’s on-screen QWERTY keypad that
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Swype
: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word.
•
QWERTY keyboard
: located below the screen, can be used at any time
to enter text and override the current text input method. For more
information, refer to
“Language and Keyboard”
on page 109.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both portrait
and landscape mode.
