Message Tip - Too Good |

Hey people.... guess what! i discovered a ROCKING feature in my T39 (R3B006) Message writer...(I don't know if this has ever been posted on this site before.... atleast I haven't seen it, so please excuse me if it's old).... However, I thought it was damn good to let it pass unnoticed, so here it is.....
This tip is for:
1. The people who do not use T9 at all ie they are more comfortable with multi-tap.
OR
2. The people who use T9 who want to add words to the dictionary with a speed comparable to the T9...
The Basics:
We all know that the different numbers on the phone correspond to 3 or more alphabets (eg. 2 corresponds to a,b,c.... 3 corresponds to d,e,f...).
The Method:
Now suppose you are in multi-tap mode (english only) and you want ot type the letter b .... you would press 2 twice right?
Now try this.... go into multitap mode.... slide & keep the side volume control up and just press 2 once.... a b appears.......
want a c? then slide the side volume control button down, and while it is kept down press 2 once.... a c appears....... this works with all the keys except 7 and 9 because they have 4 alphabets associated with them...
In short:
The sliding up of the side volume control will give the second alphabet corresponding to the number and the sliding down will give the third alphabet associated with that number....
Tell me if it works with other Ericsson Models too.....
Hope this tip was useful.
Bye

This is actualy THE way to input text if you ask me =) I have always loved it, It's fast and you always get the word you want.
Used it on my Ericsson 868, T28, T39 and T68.
Now i just use the pen that came with my P800 =) (But i would have liked for a "jogwheel" that was a button up/down instead of scroll. That way it could have worked on the P800 too)

It also works on the T65. But I prefer t9. And btw it wasn't in the manual guide!
