Section 4: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to
reduce the number 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. If the
phone is sideways, an on-screen, QWERTY keypad is displayed.
When upright, the alphanumeric keypad is displayed.
Keys
You can enter characters into your phone by using an on-screen
portrait keypad or a landscape QWERTY keypad. Depending on
which format you use, the keys are associated with different
letters, special characters, or numbers. Refer to the following
layouts to determine which keys are associated with letters,
special characters, or numbers.
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation and the on-screen
QWERTY keypad displays.
