Entering Text 47
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and all
consecutive letters are kept in lowercase unless you touch the
Shift
key. After entering a character, the cursor automatically
advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter
a character on a different key.
Using the QWERTY Keypad
This phone also offers the convenience of an on-screen QWERTY
keypad. Using the QWERTY keypad to type letters, numbers,
punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or
other applications should be simpler and faster than using the
portrait keypad.
The following keys perform special functions when entering text:
1.
Shift:
Press to switch between uppercase and lowercase
characters.
2.
123Sym:
Press once to type special characters and
numbers that appear on the QWERTY keys. Examples: $,
@, #, !, 1, 2. Press again to deactivate this function. Touch
either
or
on the
button to cycle through
additional keys.
3.
T9
: Press to activate the T9 mode in either
abc
(all lower
case) or
(where the keys default to lowercase until
the
Shift
key is touched [activated]). This is achieved by
repeatedly pressing the button to toggle the current state.
