1.6 Entering text and numbers
Your phone supports three input modes for entering text and
numbers: Multipress, T9, and Numeric. The Multipress and
T9 modes are used for entering text, and the Numeric mode
for entering numbers. When you select a eld that requires
text or numeric entry, the phone will automatically select the
appropriate input mode. The status indicator on the title bar
shows the input mode you are currently using.

The following table shows the complete list of input mode
status indicators.
Entering text in Multipress mode
When you are in Multipress mode, you can enter a letter
by pressing the number key on which the letter appears. To
enter the rst letter on the number key, press the key once,
to enter the second letter, press the key twice, and so on.
The letter entered most recently is underlined until you have
completed the keypresses for the letter and moved on to
the next letter.
