Changing the Text Input Mode

To enter text when storing a name in your Address Book, creating your personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar, you can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone keypad in portrait mode or in qwerty mode. Tape the text entry screen to display the on-screen keypad.

Your phone has the following text input modes:

•T9 Abc: allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. The T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring fewer keystrokes than the traditional Abc mode.

•T9 ABC: allows you to enter all capital alpha characters in T9 mode.

•T9 abc: allows you to enter lower case alpha characters in T9 mode.

•Abc: allows you to enter initial caps alpha characters.

•ABC: allows you to enter alpha characters in all caps.

•abc: allows you to enter lower case alpha characters.

•Numeric: allows you to enter numbers.

•Symbols: allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

•Emoticons: allows you to enter Emoticons.

Note: When characters can be entered in a field, the text input mode indicator displays on the top right portion of the screen.
