A user interface with a keypad having a reduced form factor is provided. The keypad includes a plurality of multi-position keys, each of which has a plurality of toggle positions for making a plurality of data selections. The user interface may also include a plurality of function keys and a screen for displaying the data. The user interface reduces the number of keys needed on a keypad and minimizes the number of finger movements, thereby reducing the number of errors made when using the user interface.
