T9 Text Input

In addition to the standard method of entering text messages in which you
press a key a certain number of times until the desired letter appears, Sony
has equipped your phone with an additional feature called T9 Text Input.
T9 Text Input and the Jog Dial make writing messages quicker and easier.
Just type a word by tapping each key once per letter. After you have
finished typing to the end of the word, T9 Text Input gives you several
words to select from in the preview bar based on the key combination you
entered.
(see page 24 on how to enter lower-case letters, upper-case letters and
numbers).
