Entering text
At many times when using your phone, you will
need to enter text; for example, when storing a
name in Phonebook, writing a text message, or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
•
Pinyin : allows you to enter a Chinese character
using its Pinyin spelling, which is a phonetic
system.
•
Stroke : allows you to a Chinese character using
the individual strokes labelled on the keys.
•
123 : allows you to enter numbers.
•
Symbol : allows you to enter many different
symbols and punctuation marks.
•
ABC : allows you to enter English characters by
pressing the key labelled with the character you
want until it displays.
•
T9 word : allows you to enter English characters
with only one keypress per character.
Note : Pinyin, Stroke, and T9 word modes use the T9
input method. T9 mode automatically compares
your keypresses to an internal linguistic
database to determine the correct word.
