6.15.4 Using iTAP™ Mode
Press #in a text entry view to switch to iTAP mode. If you
don’t see 
or 
, press Options > Text Setup to set iTAP mode as your primary or secondary text entry mode.
iTAP™ software provides a predictive text entry mode that lets you enter a word using one keypress per letter. This can be faster than TAP, because your phone combines the keypresses into common words.
To enter text in tap mode, press a keypad key repeatedly to cycle through the letters and number on the key. Repeat this step to enter each letter.
When you enter 3 or more characters in a row, your phone may guess the rest of the word. For example, if you enter prog you might see:
•Press Sleft or right to move the flashing cursor to the left or right in a text message.
•The first character of every sentence is capitalised. If necessary, press Sdown to force the character to lowercase before the cursor moves to the next position.
•If you enter or edit information and do not want to save
the changes, press 
to exit without saving.
