Predictive text input
This feature allows you to write text messages by pressing each
number key only once for each letter. Your phone has a built-in
dictionary that searches for the correct word. You can add
words (for example, the names that you use often) into the
dictionary.
Since the word shown on the screen changes after each key
stroke, try to disregard the word until you have keyed in all
the characters.

is also visible on your screen when the
