Typing text
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. If you prefer to use a smaller version of the on-screen keyboard and
input text using only one hand, you can activate the one-handed keyboard instead.
You can select up to three languages for text input. The Smart language detection
feature detects the language you are using and predicts the words for that language as
you type. Some applications open the on-screen keyboard automatically, such as email
and text messaging applications.
