• WRITE WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT
Your phone offers a quick way to enter text called
predictive text input. Predictive texts uses a highly
compressed database (or "dictionary") of common
words and tries to anticipate the word you are
entering.
You can use predictive text input when you:
•
Write or reply to a text message
•
Create a note in the calendar or to-do list
•
Enter text while using the Minibrowser
Watching predictive text guess a word can be confusing, so you should
disregard the screen until all characters have been entered
Example: To write “Nokia”:
