Note: T9 ("Text on 9 keys") allows words to be entered by a single keypress for each letter, as opposed to the multi-tap approach used in conventional mobile phone text entry, in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses. It combines the groups of letters on each device key with a dictionary of words.
- AUTO-COMPLETE SUGGESTIONS: When T9 mode is enabled an auto complete suggestion bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. Press the left and right directional buttons to navigate to the desired option.
