You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your phone's keypad. Your phone has the following text input modes: • ABC: allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the corresponding letter. • T9Ab: allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. The T9 mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode. • Numeric: allows you to enter numbers. • Symbols: allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks. Note: When characters can be entered in a field, the text input mode indicator displays on the top right portion of the screen. Example: Writing a text message. There are two different methods for changing Text Input Mode, depending on how you are using the device (portrait or landscape).
