Inputting Chinese Characters with PinYin
PinYin is a commonly used text input method for Chinese characters. The PinYin text input feature on VVX
business media phones uses Nuance XT9

Smart Input to enable you to enter Chinese characters into text
fields using the phone’s dial pad keys or onscreen keyboard.

input widget and the dial pad keys or onscreen keyboard. When you select a data field to edit, the PinYin
