Text entry

4. Text entry

You can use two methods for entering text and numbers: standard mode

and predictive text mode. In each mode the following applies:

• Press 0 to enter a space and to accept a completed word.

• Press 1 to enter a period or press repeatedly to scroll through a list

of commonly used characters.

• Press and hold the specific number key to enter a number.

• While at any text entry screen, press * to display special characters (press

and hold * if predictive text is on). Press * again to cycle through all available

characters. Scroll to navigate through the list of special characters. Once a

character is highlighted, select Insert to insert the character into your message.

■ Standard mode

Standard mode is the only way to enter text into the contacts list, and to rename

caller groups.

Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter,

etc. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted and your phone

awaits the next entry

■ Predictive text mode

Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad

and the built-in dictionary. It is much faster than the standard mode, because

for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.

Activate and deactivate

At any text entry screen, select and hold Options to turn predictive text on or off

depending on previous mode; or select Options > Prediction on or Prediction off.

Press # twice to change from predictive text mode to standard mode and back.

Enter text

The illustration below simulates your display each time a key is pressed. For example,

to write Nokia with predictive text on and with the English dictionary selected,

press each of the following keys once:

1 2 ... 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ... 175 176
