most common punctuation marks and special

each key only once for one letter.

If the word is not correct, press * repeatedly, and
select the word from the list.
If the ? character is displayed after the word, the word
you intended to write is not in the dictionary. To add
the word to the dictionary, select Spell. Enter the
word using traditional text input, and select Save.
To write compound words, enter the first part of the
word, and press the navigation key right to confirm it.
Write the last part of the word, and confirm the word.
