9.1.1 How to write an SMS

There are two writing methods: Standard or Fast Text (Eatoni) method.
The standard method is the same method used to enter a name in the phonebook. The FAST TEXT methode is a
Letterwise predictive text method which means that the software will predict the next character to be typed. This method
requires less key press to form words/sentences than the standard method. When the FAST TEXT predicted letter is
not the character you want to type, you can use the '#'-key to select a other character.
For example: when you want to enter the name 'LUC'
Standard method:
Tap 5 three times to select 'L'
Tap 8 two times to select 'U'
Tap 2 three times to select 'C'
Total keystrokes required = 8
To enter a space press '1'
To go quickly to the next letter, either press downwards on the navigator key
automatically.
For each key, the available characters appears at the top of the screen.
Eatoni method:
To switch to Eatoni mode, press the "#"-key long. Eatoni or FastTXT appears on the display.
(To return to standard mode, pres the "#"-key long again)
Tap 5 once for 'L'
Tap 8 and then '#'-key to select 'U'
Top 2 once for 'C' (FAST TEXT method immediately predicts the letter 'C')
Total keystrokes required = 4
Press or to go to the next or previous line
Press or to go to the next or previous character
To change to upper case, press INT. To return to lower case press INT again.

- Emoticons are a fun, shorthand way of expressing your feelings.You can select the most appropriate Emoticon from
the grid and add them to your message.
- Templates are a selection of common, ready to use statements which are easy to insert into your message. These
are:Please call - I'll be there at - What time will you be home? - I'll call you - Happy Birthday! -
You can change these templates and replace them with your own.See (See § "9.9 Changing templates" )
