Keyboard and typing

The BlackBerry Keyboard consists of a three-row physical keyboard, and one or more rows of touch screen keys above the

keyboard. The touch screen keys are dynamic and change depending on the application you are using or the mode you

have set.
The keyboard is responsive to touch for typing and navigation. You tap the keyboard to type and you can touch the

keyboard to add predictive text, delete text, control the cursor, and add accented characters. In apps that rely on accurate

finger placement, for example when you edit text, this keyboard provides the most precise finger placement detection yet!

Android app support

Get apps and games designed for Android smartphones and install them on your BlackBerry device with the Amazon

Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your device. BlackBerry

Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and gives you the option to cancel or

continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are more closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS. When you tap the

share icon in an Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts that are associated with other apps on

your device (for example, BBM contacts) or share the information with another app (for example, the BlackBerry

Remember app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that

you download to your device.
