Phone IME OS Design Development (Windows CE 5.0)
The Phone IME is an input method editor (IME) that provides triple-tap functionality used by the Telephony User Interface (TUI). Triple-tap refers to a method for entering text using a numeric keypad. When using this method, you press a given numeric key multiple times to cycle through the alphabetic characters associated with that number. For example, you might press the 2 key once to specify A, twice to specify B, and so on.
Note Phone IME functionality is provided for use only from the Telephony User Interface (TUI) application. Its extension or use in other applications is not supported.
