Touchscreen Keyboards
Touchscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The
Landscape orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you
find that you prefer to enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this
orientation.

Some characters and types, such as some symbols and emoticons, are not accessible from the
onscreen keyboard.
