5.13.3 Using iTAP™ Mode
22 Basics
Character Chart
Use this chart as a guide for entering characters with 
Tap Extended.
Note: This chart may not reflect the exact character set 
available on your phone. In an email address or URL editor, 
1 first shows common characters for that editor.
Tap Te xt Entry Rules
• Press a keypad key repeatedly to cycle through its 
characters.
• Press S left or right to move the flashing cursor to 
the left or right in a text message.
• The first character of every sentence is capitalised. If 
necessary, press S down to force the character to 
lowercase before the cursor moves to the next 
position.
• If you enter or edit information and do not want to save 
the changes, press  to exit without saving.
5.13.3 Using iTAP™ Mode
iTAP™ software provides a predictive text entry mode that 
lets you enter a word using one keypress per letter. This can 
be faster than Tap, because your phone combines the 
keypresses into common words.
