Entering letters
There are two ways of entering letters, for example,
when writing a message or writing a name in
contacts:
• Multitap text input
You 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

the languages that you want to use when writing.
When writing, you can switch to one of your
