Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad, select the Alpha mode
(see “Selecting a Character Input Mode” on page 30). Press the
corresponding key repeatedly until the desired character appears.
By default, the first letter of the first word is capitalized and
following letters are lowercase.
To enter text using Alpha:
1. From a text entry screen (for example, a contact entry), press
and select Alpha.
2. Use your keypad to enter the contact's name. (For example, to
enter “Bill”, press twice, three times, three times
and, press once to advance the cursor, and three
times again.)
Characters scroll in the following order:

After a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the
next space after two seconds or when you enter a character on a
different key.
