Entering text

Entering text with the Flip closed

With the Flip closed, you use the keypad keys to enter text, for example, when writing a text message. When you press a key, a pre-edit box with the different characters on that key is shown in the title area:

If the same key is pressed again, the next character in the pre- edit box will be selected.

The key deletes the character to the left of the cursor. If continuously pressed, the key deletes several characters and then whole words.

Types of text input

There are four text input types:

•Abc – initial uppercase letter, the rest lowercase. Default for each new text edit field.

•123 – numeric entry only

•ABC – uppercase entry

•abc – lowercase entry

When you are editing text you can:

•Press and select Text options > Input type to select text input type.

•Press to switch between the input types in text edit mode.

Inserting symbols

When you are editing text you can press and, depending on the application, choose Add symbol or Text > Add symbol to select an item from the symbol selector table. Use the Jog Dial

to select the row and press . Then scroll within the row to

select a symbol and press .

T9® text input

You can use T9 text input when writing, for example text messages and e-mail. The T9 text input method uses a built-in dictionary to recognise the most commonly used word for each sequence of key presses. This way, you press each key only once, even when the letter you want is not the first letter on the

key. Press and hold to change input method.

The following example shows how to start writing a text.
