The OK/FaceBoard Button

Pressing the “OK” button (

) performs the same 

confirmation feature as tapping “OK” on the right-hand 

corner of the screen.

Pressing the 

 and 

 buttons will pop up 

a window containing various less frequently used 

symbols and punctuation marks. There are also popular 

smiley patterns for your email. To select a symbol, 

you can either touch the on-screen button or press the 

corresponding key shown on the top of the 

on-screen button.

The FaceBoard is 

a unique extended 
keyboard that allows 
you to easily type extra 
symbols and email 
smiley patterns.
