4. Text entry

You can use two methods for entering text and numbers: standard mode and predictive text mode. In each mode the following applies:

•Press 0 to enter a space and to accept a completed word.

•Press 1 to enter a period or press repeatedly to scroll through a list of commonly used characters.

•Press and hold the specific number key to enter a number.

•While at any text entry screen, press * to display special characters (press and hold * if predictive text is on). Press * again to cycle through all available characters. Scroll to navigate through the list of special characters. Once a character is highlighted, select Insert to insert the character into your message.

■Standard mode

Standard mode is the only way to enter text into the contacts list, and to rename caller groups.

Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter, etc. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted and your phone awaits the next entry

■Predictive text mode

Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode, because for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.

Activate and deactivate

At any text entry screen, select and hold Options to turn predictive text on or off depending on previous mode; or select Options > Prediction on or Prediction off. Press # twice to change from predictive text mode to standard mode and back.

Enter text

The illustration below simulates your display each time a key is pressed. For example, to write Nokia with predictive text on and with the English dictionary selected, press each of the following keys once:
