Entering Text
The phone includes a built-in QWERTY keyboard, which is located beneath the display
screen and is accessed by sliding it open. This orients the phone’s display to landscape
(widescreen) mode. Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters, numbers,
punctuation, and other special characters into text entry fields or other applications.
To open the phone and access the keyboard:
1. Rotate the phone 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
2. Slide the top section of the phone up to open the keyboard. The display
screen rotates to the landscape viewing mode.
Your phone’s keyboard provides a convenient way of entering letters, numbers, and
symbols when you are prompted to enter text. Using your phone’s keyboard is like using
a standard computer keyboard, except that each key had a primary character in white on
the bottom (usually letters) and a secondary character in red on the top (numbers and
punctuation).
