Using the Slideout Hardware Keyboard
Your device comes with a hardware QWERTY
keyboard, which is similar to a standard keyboard on a
computer. To use the keyboard, slide the screen panel
to the right to reveal the keyboard. The screen panel
will pop up at an angle for comfortable viewing.
In most applications, the screen orientation
automatically switches to landscape mode when the
keyboard is opened. Certain applications and Hubs,
such as the Start screen, the main People Hub, and the
applications list, will remain in portrait mode.
