Typing text

On-screen keyboard

You can enter text with the on-screen QWERTY keyboard by tapping each letter

individually, or you can use the Gesture input feature and slide your finger from letter

to letter to form words. If you prefer to use a smaller version of the on-screen

keyboard and input text using only one hand, you can activate the one-handed

keyboard instead.
You can select up to three languages for text input. The keyboard detects the

language that you are using and predicts the words for that language as you type.

Some applications open the on-screen keyboard automatically, for example, email

and text messaging applications.

1 Delete a character before the cursor.

2 Enter a carriage return or confirm text input.

3 Enter a space.

4 Personalise your keyboard. This key disappears after the keyboard is personalised.

5 Display numbers and symbols. For even more symbols, tap 

.

6 Switch between lower-case  , upper-case   and caps  . For some languages, this key is used to

access extra characters in the language.
