switch between languages.
§ The keys have secondary numbers, punctuation symbols, or other characters
that you can quickly insert without having to switch to the numeric and symbol
keyboard.
For example, just press and hold a key on the first row to insert a number.
§ Choose from a selection of smileys and insert one right from the keyboard.

keyboard so it learns how you type.
