Section 4: Entering Text This section describes how to select the desired text input method when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text. Your phone 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. Your phone not only provides several on-screen keypad text entry options, but also provides handwriting recognition to make the task of text entry that much easier. Text Input Methods There are three text input methods available: • Swype: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. • Android keyboard: an on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation. • Samsung keyboard (default): Samsung's on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation. To change the input method, see "Select input method" on page 119. Entering Text Using the Samsung QWERTY Keypad From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. The on-screen QWERTY keypad will display.
