T9 Language for PhonePad

[Guest damieno]

Hi WM5ers,

Not sure if this is obvious to everyone, but thought i'd share a tip on how to quickly change the language when using the phonepad:

Press and hold the bottom right corner button of the phonepad, which is labelled opt/sym;

Phonepad options screen appears, select the second tab, which is labelled Languages;

Select the language from the drop down list and press OK.

Much faster then the other instructions i've seen on the web which require about 10 taps!

One thing I did notice (and this is a recognised issue with the Prophet and possibly other WM5 devices) is that a reboot of the phone is required before the new language will work. This is only required the first time you select the language, subsequent changes will work instantly. I checked the i-mate website and this is listed as a known issue. No big deal, as it only happens the first time.

Hope this helps, sorry if you already knew this!
