Section 5: Entering Text This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode when entering characters using the QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number of key strokes needed to enter text. Your device comes equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. If the phone is sideways, an on-screen keypad is displayed. When upright, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown. Your device not only provides several on screen keypad/keypad text entry options, but also provides handwriting recognition to make the task of text entry that much easier. Using the QWERTY Keypad From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. Regardless of the current setting with the Input Select field (page 41), the on-screen QWERTY keypad will display. Text Input mode Text Input selector New Paragraph Entering Text 37
