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. The a887 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 onscreen keyboard is displayed. When upright, only the alphanumeric keypad is shown. The a887 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 Keyboard 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 43), the onscreen QWERTY keyboard will display. Text Input mode Text Input selector New Paragraph Entering Text 39

when entering characters using the QWERTY keyboard-style
keypad. This section also describes how to use the T9 predictive

The a887 comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways

counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. Regardless of the
