Samsung SCH-i600 / SP-i600

Does anyone know what the format for text entry is on the I600? The I500 has Graffiti, but the I600 doesn't. I don't think the I600 uses a touchscreen, so there wouldn't be a screen keyboard available unless I'm wrong about that. That leaves the phone number pad, and hitting the keys multiple times for each letter. Does anyone know if that's the case? If so, any thoughts on how big of a pain that is? It would seem like that might be OK if you use it as a phone and to view your calendar, contacts, etc., but not very good if you actually want to enter information or, God forbid, type an e-mail.
