3.4.2 Instant Messaging

The phone supports sending and receiving instant text messages. The user is alerted to incoming messages visually and audibly. The user can choose to view the messages immediately or when it is convenient. For sending messages, the user can choose to either select a message from a pre-set list of short messages, or an alphanumeric text entry mode allows the typing of custom messages using the dial pad. Message sending can be initiated by replying to an incoming message or by initiating a new dialog. The destination for new dialog messages can be entered manually or selected from the con- tact directory, the preferred method.
