opens. The availability of input modes may vary depending on whether the

7 — Numbers
8 — Star - Opens a special characters table.

Traditional text input
Tap a number key (1-9) repeatedly until the desired character appears. There are
more characters available for a number key than are visible on the key.
If the next letter is located on the same key as the present one, wait until the cursor
appears (or move the cursor forward to end the time-out period), and enter the
letter.
To insert a space, tap 0. To move the cursor to the next line, tap 0 three times.
Predictive text input
With predictive text input, to enter a word, select one number key for each letter
in the word. Predictive text input is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can
add new words. Predictive text input is not available for all languages.
1. To activate predictive text input for all editors on the device, select 
 >
Activate prediction.
2. Write a word. For example, to write "Nokia" when the English dictionary is
selected, select 6 for N, 6 for o, 5 for k, 4 for i, and 2 for a.
The word suggestion changes after each key selection.
3. If the word is not correct, select * repeatedly, until the correct match is displayed.
If the word is not in the dictionary, select Spell, enter the word using traditional
text input mode, and select OK.
