Predictive text input

With predictive input, you can enter any letter with a
single keypress. Predictive text input is based on a built-
in dictionary.
To activate or deactivate predictive text input, select
Options > Input options. The indicator is
displayed. When you start writing a word, your device
suggests possible words. When the correct word is found,
press the space key (0) to confirm it and to add a space.
While writing, you can scroll down to access a list of
suggested words. If the desired word is on the list, select
the word. If the ? character is displayed after the word, the
word you intended to write is not in the dictionary. To add
a word to the dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using
traditional text input, and select OK. When the dictionary
is full, the new word replaces the oldest added word.
To deactivate automatic word completion, select
Options > Input options > Settings.
To change the writing language, select Options > Input
options > Writing language.
