■ Predictive text mode

To write messages quickly, use predictive text mode with your keypad and the

built-in dictionary. Predictive text mode is much faster than the standard mode

method because you do not need to scroll through the letters on each key to spell

a word. The dictionary determines which word to enter based on the keys

selected.

Language selection and activation

You can select the language that predictive text uses. At any text entry screen,

select Options > Writing language > English or Français. To activate predictive

text, at any text entry screen, select Options > Dictionary on.
