Entering Text in Landscape Mode
Accessing the QWERTY Keyboard
The phone has a built-in, keyboard-style keypad,
referred to as a full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard
is located beneath the display screen and is accessed
by sliding it open. This orients the phone's display to
landscape (wide screen) mode.
Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can type letters,
numbers, punctuation, and other special characters
into text entry fields or other applications simpler and
faster than using the telephone keypad.
To open the phone and access the keyboard:
1. Rotate the phone 90 degrees counterclockwise.
2. Slide the top section of the phone up to open,
as shown in the following illustration. When you
slide the phone open, the display rotates from a
vertical viewing mode (portrait) to a horizontal
viewing mode (landscape).
Navigation Key in Landscape Mode
Just as the screen orientation is changed, so is the
functionality of both the option keys and the
navigation key. The Up/Down/Left/Right options of the
navigation key adjust when the phone changes from
portrait to landscape mode.
Entering Text Using the Keyboard
Your phone’s keyboard provides a convenient way to
enter letters, numbers, and symbols whenever you
are prompted to enter text. Using your phone's
keyboard is just like using any standard computer
keyboard, except that here each key has a primary
character in white on the bottom (usually letters) and
a secondary character in red on the top (numbers and
punctuation).
Secondary characters are accessed by first pressing
the Function key.
