About typing using different keyboard styles

When you need to type, your BlackBerry® device displays one of three keyboard styles automatically, based on the field that
you type in and the orientation of your device.
If you are using your device in portrait view, you can switch between the SureType® keyboard, multi-tap keyboard, and full
keyboard, and you can set one of these keyboard styles to be your default. If you are using your device in landscape view, you
can type using the full keyboard.
