Samsung M510 Entering Characters Using Alpha Mode, Twice, GHI, Hold, To delete an entire entry

Tip:	Text prediction begins providing a list of possible choices if
	both the Text Options > Display Candidate feature is enabled
	and three or more characters are entered.
Note:	Since the T9 prediction listing starts at three letters, when
	working with two letters, use the (0) key to begin cycling
	through possible two-letter choices. If, as an example, you
	type the word Go (keys 4 and 6), T9 prediction might provide
	the word In, but by pressing the (0) key you can cycle through
	to the next possible word choice, which is Go.
