5 Text entry

Warning! Do not switch on the phone when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters using the phone keypad when working with the phone book, calendar, text messaging, or while browsing the Internet. This section provides detailed instructions for the two text entry methods, that is, traditional text entry and predictive text input.
