The Sliding QWERTY Keyboard vs. Onscreen Input Methods

When you start a program or select a field that requires text or numbers, you use either the sliding QWERTY keyboard or one of the onscreen input methods to enter text.

Sliding QWERTY Keyboard

Your device comes with a sliding QWERTY keyboard, which is similar to a standard keyboard on your computer.

To use the keyboard, slide the screen panel to the right to reveal the keyboard. The screen orientation automatically switches between landscape and portrait modes depending on the orientation of the device.
