Typing of messages is also made very easy thanks to the predictive text input (T9) feature. The T9 will predict the words you are about to type, and bring up a list of options. You can then choose from a list of options and hit Enter and the word is fully typed for you!

Audio

You can set cool ringtones to alert you when an incoming call comes in. Check out our free ringtones section for this. With the built in speakerphone, you can now talk to your contacts without holding the phone near to your ear (thus reducing the chances of radiation). With Push-To-Talk capabilities, you don't need to dial the numbers anymore! Just select a contact and hit Enter and the phone will automatically dial the number for you. Hands-free walkie talkie type communication is also supported.
