Samsung GH68-25523A Entering Text, Built-in Qwerty Keypad, Changing the Text Entry Mode

Section 6: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode when entering characters using the phone keypad or the nested, QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes needed to enter text.

Built-in QWERTY Keypad

Your U450 has a built-in, keyboard-style keypad, commonly called QWERTY, that you can access by sliding it open from beneath the top section of the phone. This also automatically rotates the image in the display to show information in a wider, landscape format. Using the QWERTY keypad, you can type

letters, numbers, punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or other applications simpler and faster than using the telephone keypad.

Changing the Text Entry Mode

Text messages can be made up of alphabetical characters, numbers, and symbols. You can use the following text entry modes to simplify text entry:

•T9 Word — Press each phone key only once to enter the letter of the word that you’re spelling. T9 WORD mode letter options are:

–T9 Word — Enter initial capital letters

–T9 WORD — Enter all upper case letters

–T9 word — Enter all lower case letters

•Abc — Enter letters, numbers, and symbols by using the QWERTY keypad or by repeatedly pressing each phone key until the desired character (as shown on the key) appears in the display. ABC mode letter options are:

–Abc — Enter initial capital letters

–ABC — Enter all upper case letters

–abc — Enter all lower case letters

•123 — Enter numbers by pressing the corresponding keys on the phone keypad or the QWERTY keypad.
