Android Keyboard
The Android Keyboard provides a layout similar to a desktop
computer keyboard.
In some applications, turn the phone sideways and the
keyboard will change from portrait to landscape.
To use the landscape keyboard, just tick the Auto-rotate
screen check box in Settings > Display. (The landscape
QWERTY keyboard is not supported in all applications.)
