Does texting on the Blackberry pearl work?

Question

Is it like a standard cell where you have to press the number more than once to get a few letters per number? I see that there are two per button. So for letter "B" do you press the "B" side of the button, or do you have to press the button twice, like on a regular cell? Thanks!

Answer 1

it works like T9 would work on a regular cell.

for example if you want to say "movie" you would press

"9.731"

sense there are less letters per number then there are less options when you spell something out making texting easier once you get used to it.
