Entering Characters Using T9 Text Input

T9 Text Input lets you enter text into your phone by allowing you to key in any character using single keystrokes. (To select the T9 English mode when entering text, see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 45.)

T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive built-in word database and creates a suitable word. (The word may change as you type.)

To enter a word using T9(English) Text Input:

1.Select the T9(English) character input mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 45.)

Tip:

When entering text in this mode, press the * (Shift) key to change letter capitalization (T9Word > T9WORD > T9word) used on the current word.

2.Press the corresponding keys once per letter to enter a word. As an

	example, press ABC		JKL	JKL to enter the word “Bill.” (If
	you make a mistake, press			to erase a single character. Press
	and 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.
