Entering Text
Your phone uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry.
Use the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and
other characters into text entry fields or applications. Access
the keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the
screen. Your phone comes equipped with an orientation
detector that can tell if the phone is being held in a portrait
(upright) or landscape (sideways) orientation.
Keys
The keys on the QWERTY keyboard are associated with
alphabetic letters, special characters, or numbers.
Based on your keyboard settings, the first letter of an entry is
capitalized and all consecutive letters are kept in lowercase
unless you touch the Shift key (
) or enter a period. After
entering a character, the cursor automatically advances to
the next space. For more information, refer to
“Keyboard”
on
page 138.
For certain fields, such as the New Message
To
field, a dialer
keypad displays when you touch the
123
key to enter a
recipient’s phone number. For more information, refer to
“Messaging”
on page 58.
