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. Text Input Methods There are three text input methods available: • Samsung Keypad: Samsung's on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation. • 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. To change the input method, see "Select input method" on page 172 Entering Text Using the Samsung Keypad The Samsung Keypad is an on-screen QWERTY keypad similar to the Android Keyboard with several minor differences. 1. From the Home screen, tap Applications ➔ Settings ➔ Language and keyboard ➔ Select input method. 2. Tap the Samsung keypad option. A green circle will appear. For information on changing Samsung Keypad settings, see "Samsung Keypad settings" on page 173. From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation.
