Shortcuts
A quicker way to move through the menus is to use
shortcuts. You can use keypad shortcuts to quickly
go to a menu, and you can use predefined
navigation key shortcuts to quickly reach certain
functions. You can edit the navigation key
shortcuts to suit your own needs.
Using keypad shortcuts
Enter the menus by pressing and then enter the
number of the menu to which you want to go.
For example, to reach the fifth menu item,

Entering letters
There are two ways of entering letters, for example,
when writing a message or writing a name
in contacts:
• Multitap text input
Press each key as many times as needed to show
the letter you want.
• T9™ Text Input
The T9 Text Input method uses a built-in
dictionary to recognize the most commonly used
word for each sequence of key presses. This way,
you press each key only once, even if the letter you
want is not the first letter on the key.
Writing languages
Before you start entering letters, select the
languages you want to use when writing.
When writing, you can switch to one of your
selected languages by pressing and holding
