Entering Text 63
Section 5: 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.
Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad
text entry options to make the task of text entry that
much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are two text input methods available:
•
Samsung keypad
(default): an 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.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in
both portrait and landscape mode.
