Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text entry mode
when entering characters using the phone keypad or the nested,
QWERTY keyboard-style keypad. This section also describes how
to use the T9 predictive text entry system to reduce the number
of key strokes needed to enter text.

commonly called QWERTY, that you can access by sliding it open
from beneath the top section of the phone. This also
automatically rotates the image in the display to show
information in a wider, landscape format. Using the QWERTY
keypad, you can type letters, numbers, punctuation, and other
special characters into text entry fields or other applications
simpler and faster than using the telephone keypad.

numbers, and symbols. You can use the following text entry
modes to simplify text entry:
