Using the T9 mode

The T9 predictive text input mode lets you enter

words easily with a minimum number of key presses.

As you press each key, the phone begins to display

the characters that it thinks you are typing based on

the built-in dictionary. You can also add new words in

the dictionary. As new words are added, the word

changes to reflect the most likely candidate from the

dictionary.

22

T9 Mode

This mode lets you enter words with only one

keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has

more than one letter. The T9 mode automatically

compares your keystrokes with an internal

dictionary to determine the correct word, thus

requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional

ABC mode. This is sometimes known as predictive

text.

ABC Mode

This mode lets you enter letters by pressing the

key labeled with the required letter once, twice,
