Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters into your phone. This section
also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
The default input method is Swype.

Your phone offers two text input methods:
Android keyboard: The Android Keyboard is a virtual QWERTY
•
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen.

touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter it
into your text.
