Using T9 ® Text Input
As you compose email or enter street and Web addresses on your Nextel
phone, you will need to type words, numbers and symbols. Your Nextel
data-capable phone has embedded software, called T9 Text Input, that
makes typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer
keyboard: it eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” method of text entry.
As you type, you press only one key per letter. As you type, T9 Text
Input matches your keystrokes to words in its linguistic database of
approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You may also store
additional words you frequently use in your own User Database, which
is incorporated into the entire T9 database.
Entering Characters, Numbers and Symbols
In applications that require text input, such as Hotmail, Two-Way
Messaging, and Search, there are four text entry modes available: Word,
Alpha, Number, and Symbol.
WORD or word —activates single-key-press T9 Text Input.
ALPHA or alpha —activates standard keypad text entry called “multi-
tap”.
NUM —allows entry of keypad numbers.
SYM —allows entry of punctuation symbols such as “@” or “?”.
The menu option in the lower right corner of the phone screen indicates
your current text entry mode. If the option is “word,” you are in T9 Text
Input mode. To change text entry modes, press the right
o
until you see
the desired text entry mode.
T9 Navigation Keys
Your phone keys assume different functions while in T9 Text Input
mode just as they did when in
Net mode. The following keys will be
instrumental while using T9:
Backspace/Erase: Press once to backspace or to erase a single
character. Press and hold to erase the entire message.
Space: Press once to accept a word and insert a space when
entering text.
Next: Press 0 to display more words that match the keystroke
sequence you entered. Words that you have added to your User
Database will begin appearing after words stored in the T9 Database.
