Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation,
and numbers when you need to enter text. Your phone provides
both sliding and screen QWERTY keyboards to support quick and
easy text input.
Using the Sliding QWERTY Keyboard
The R730 has a full, slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard
is located beneath the display screen and is accessed by sliding
it open. This orients the device's display to Landscape
(widescreen) mode.
With the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters, numbers,
punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields.
(For more information, refer to
“Open View (Front)”
on page 15.)
