Almost everybody has a RAZR. So when I TEXTed my friend who has the same phone, it took a long while before I got a reply. He confessed he’s having a hard time texting. He didn’t need to explain because I agreed with him right away. So if you just got a new V3t, the next few paragraphs are for you….

Integrated with this sleek phone is an iTAP English feature. If you have ever used a computer or internet, you are probably aware of “intellisense”. You know, the cool feature that autocompletes a word when you type a letter. RAZR has the same feature, but unfortunately, the keypad was not modeled after a computer keyboard unlike the Blackberry. In the RAZR, just like any regular cellphones, a single key consists of a number and few letters. For example, you want to enter the letter “S”. You have to tap the “7″ key four times to do it. But with the iTAP feature, pressing “7″ just once autocompletes letter “P”. Pressing it couple more times will lead to undesirable result and a massive hair loss. The iTAP becomes an annoyance instead of a comfort for old-time texters.

Fortunately, you can turn it off. Here’s how:

1. Press the Menu Button
2. Click on the envelope icon and create a NEW Text Message
3. While on the Blank Messagebox, press the Menu Button again to see more options
4. Press arrow down then select the commad “ENTRY SETUP”
5. You’ll notice that the Primary Setup is the “iTAP Engish” and the Secondary Setup is “TAP English” (The old-fashioned way of texting). Change the setup to your preference.

That’s it and you’re done! If for some reason you decided to use the iTAP again, do the same procedure and switch back the Primary Setup to iTAP. Hope this helps all new owners of Motorola RAZR V3t.

Happy Texting!
