okay so your phone is on "t9" mode. basically it's like a dictionary, for example if you hit the number 4 twice, you would get "Hi." it uses the numbers you hit to take the most probable letters to make a word. haha it's kind of confusing to explain.
anyway, i don't know what exact phone you have. but, on mine all you have to do is press the bottom right button with the # sign on it, which changes the different ways of writing. (capital, lowercase, t9) just try pressing that button a few times and test it out, or depending on your phone it could be the bottom left button.
that should do the trick, if you need any more help just ask :]

Yay on the phone and your birthday (happy birthday). :D
It sounds like your phones predictive text has been switched on by default. If you're not familiar with predictive text it predicts what word you're trying to write with each of the keypresses you use. For example I could hit the numbers 5, 2 and 6 and I would get the choice of having Lan or Jam (words taken from the phones dictionary).
If you have a lookat the book that came with your phone there should be instructions on there on how to change your phones input type (you just need to either switch off predictive text or change it so it's on normal input). When you only need one letter (for example you want an X and you hit 9) it may come up with the letter W first and usually theres another button you can press to scroll through the letts so you can select X instead (if theres arrow keys on the phone try one of those).
Sorry I can't be more help but since I have no idea what phone you are using this is the best I'll be able to do. :] Hope you manage to get it sorted out.
