		text entry.
#	Word	Entering words and
		punctuation with one
		key-press per character.

When you are using Phonebook or Datebook, you select your text entry mode from a menu available whenever the phone is displaying a screen that requires you to enter text (for example, the Name: screen or Title: screen).
