White paper G900 To navigate menus and select items the user taps the screen using a fingertip or the included stylus. Text input methods G900 offers three text input methods: • Directly-on-the-screen writing, using the stylus (handwriting recognition). • The on-screen keyboard (virtual keyboard) located at the top of the screen in certain dialogs. • The numeric keypad below the screen. This provides keypad-based prediction and multitap input. Keypad prediction allows words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter (as opposed to the multiple keypress). Flight mode is a special mode that disables all radio functions, but still allows the user to listen to music, use PIM applications and play games. At startup of the phone the default setting has been changed from previous Sony Ericsson Symbian phones. In G900 there is no longer any question to the user whether to start the phone in Flight mode or Normal mode. The Flight mode menu is thus only available as a manual setting. Text options supported: • Auto-capitalization • Word completion • Next word prediction • Spelling suggestions • Dual language prediction dictionaries for bi-lin- gual users Enhanced text prediction For the input methods of the on-screen keyboard and handwriting recognition, enhanced text prediction can be used. The primary word or next word prediction suggestion is presented, with additional suggestions in a pre-edit box at the top of the screen. If a word is misspelled, the pre-edit box may also suggest closely matching words in the selected language dictionaries, words that have been typed previously, or items that have been stored in the 'My words' personal dictionary. Note: While entering text, the user has the option to either select any of the word suggestions displayed, or to ignore them and continue entering text via the chosen method. If a prediction suggestion is shown when sending/saving the input text, this word will not be sent/saved. Flight mode UMTS, GSM or Bluetooth connection from a mobile phone may be harmful to the safe operation of an aircraft. 12 September 2008
