Camera mode or displaying the Today screen.

Use T9 input mode

By default, the device Phone Pad is in 

T9 mode. It is the easiest 

and most convenient way to enter text in English because it has 

the capability to enter text in alphanumeric format. As you tap

letters you have selected with the most likely completed word. 

You can do the following by using the T9 input mode:

• 

To insert a word in the current program screen:
