T9 Mode
The T9 mode allows you to enter words easily
with only one keystroke per letter. Each key
on the keypad has more than one letter.
The T9 mode automatically compares your
keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary
to determine the correct word, thus requiring
far fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC
mode.
Note
You can select a different T9 language from
the Options menu (
Options > Text
Entry Settings >
Language).
