Entering Characters Using iTap English Text Input
iTap English Text Input lets you enter text into your phone by
pressing keys just once per letter.
iTap English Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an
intuitive word database and creates a suitable word. (The
word may change as you type.)
To enter a word using iTap English Text Input:
1. Select the iTapEnglish character input mode. (See
“Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page42.)
2. Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter a
word (for example, to enter the word “Bill,” press
2455). (If you make a mistake, press B to erase a
single character. Press and hold B to delete an entire
entry.)
If the word you want is not displayed after you have
entered all the letters, press the navigation key down to
scroll through other word options. A pop-up list appears
with the word options.
3. To accept a word and insert a space, press #.

To accept a word completion (such as “Billion” when you
entered “Bill”), press the navigation key right.
Tip: To turn word completion on or off, press S >Settings >Others
>TextInput >WordCompletion >OnorOff.
You can set your phone to automatically add a space after
you accept a word completion by pressing S >Settings
>Others >TextInput > Auto Space > On
