Section 5: Entering Text

This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation 
and numbers when you need to enter text. 

Virtual QWERTY Keyboard

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. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen 
orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the 
screen.

Text Input Methods

Your phone offers two text input methods:

• 

Swype: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter 
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting 
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction, 
which matches your key touches to common words.

• 

Samsung keypad: The Samsung keypad is a virtual QWERTY 
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. 
Samsung keypad includes optional XT9 predictive text, which matches 
your key touches to common words so that you can select the word to 
enter it into your text.
