4. Handwriting input method
When you want to send a text 
message, make a note, add a name 
to the contacts, this phone provides 
two different types of input 
methods:
• keypad input method: using the 
keypad for inputting. For more 
information please see ”Keypad 
input methods” on page 20.
• handwriting input method: using 
the stylus for handwriting 
inputting. This chapter illustrates 
how to use handwriting input 
method.
When the flip cover is open, 
handwriting input is indicated by 
 in your phone.
Note that handwriting input is 
available when the flip cover is 
opened and the handwriting input 
indicator is displayed on the upper 
left corner of the screen. However, 
under some circumstances, for 
example, in certain operations for 
searching a name in Contacts, 
handwriting input method maybe 
available even though the 
handwriting input indicator is not 
displayed. You may not be able to 
use handwriting input methods 
anywhere you can input with keys. 
For example, 
• You must use the keypad to input 
any password-type of 
information, such as the PIN 
code, PUK code, Security code, 
Barring code, and the password 
in certain functions and 
applications.
• You can not enter a number with 
handwriting input while the 
phone is in standby mode, or in 
calculator.
• You can not input time and date 
with handwriting input.
Important: Use only a stylus 
that has been approved by 
Nokia to be used in 
connection with this device. 
Using other stylus may 
invalidate any warranty 
applying to the phone and 
may damage the touch pad. 
Avoid scratching the touch 
pad. Never use an actual pen 
or pencil or other sharp 
objects to write on the 
touch pad.
