Keyboard

Using the onscreen keyboard

When you start a program or select a field that requires text or

numbers, the onscreen keyboard becomes available.

Using the landscape onscreen keyboard

When entering text, you can choose to use the landscape orientation

of the onscreen keyboard. Turn the phone sideways to use a larger

keyboard that lets you type easily using two thumbs.

The Auto-rotate screen check box in HOME > MENU > Settings

> Display needs to be selected for the screen orientation to

automatically change.

The landscape orientation keyboard is not supported in all

applications.
