When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, the text input mode indicator displays on the upper, right part of the screen.
•T9: this mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for example,
pressing can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
