Numbers to enter numbers by pressing the numbers on the keypad (page 41).
Symbols to enter symbols (page 41).
Predictive Spanish to enter Spanish text using predictive text like Predictive English (page 39).
Tip: | When entering text, press * (the SHIFT key) to change letter | |
| capitalization (ABC > Abc > abc). | |
| An additional option (Insert Preset Msg) is available when |
|
| using messaging. See “Managing Preset Messages” on | |
