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.

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.

2Enter a carriage return or confirm text input.

3Enter a space.

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

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

6Switch between lower-case , upper-case and caps . For some languages, this key is used to access extra characters in the language.

2To enter a character variant, touch and hold a regular keyboard character to get a list of available options, then select from the list. For example, to enter "é", touch and hold "e" until other options appear, then, while keeping your finger pressed on the keyboard, drag to and select "é".
