T9 Text Input
In addition to the standard method of entering text messages in which you press a key a certain number of times until the desired letter appears, Sony has equipped your phone with an additional feature called T9 Text Input. T9 Text Input and the Jog Dial make writing messages quicker and easier. Just type a word by tapping each key once per letter. After you have finished typing to the end of the word, T9 Text Input gives you several words to select from in the preview bar based on the key combination you entered.
