2.3 Phone Pad
Phone Pad is a Soft Input Panel (SIP) application that provides a exible alternate input
method. With it, you can easily switch among three input modes (T9, Multi-Tap, and Numeric)
plus a Symbols menu, with greater convenience.
Invoking Phone Pad
Phone Pad can be activated at any time, except when in the Today screen or when in Camera
mode. To activate Phone Pad, press your stylus on the triangular-shaped icon in the lower
right corner of the screen. This opens the menu illustrated in the gure below on the left.
Select Phone Pad from the menu.
Using T9 to Input Text
By default, Phone Pad is in T9 mode. It is the easiest and most convenient way to input
text in English. As you press alphanumeric buttons on the Phone Pad input panel, T9
tries to automatically match the letters you have selected with the most likely completed
word.
To type a word: Simply tap on the numeric keypad.
To insert a word in the current application screen:
1. Tap any word in the Wordlist bar (directly above the keypad).
2. Tap the space key.
3. Select a word and tap “enter” to insert the word.
