Chapter 6: Typing, Spelling, And Help; The Trackpad - Blackberry Bold 9700 Manual

Typing, Spelling, and Help
In this chapter we look at the trackpad, help you type as fast and accurately as you can
on your small BlackBerry keyboard, and show you where to get help on your Bold.
TIP: If you haven't already done so, please check out our ''Quick Start Guide'' in the front
section of this book (page 3) for a picture of what every key does on your BlackBerry--- - and
some great navigation tips and tricks.

The Trackpad

One great navigation feature on your BlackBerry is the front trackpad,
which can glide in any direction as well as be clicked. Though this may
take some getting used to for seasoned BlackBerry users (who are
accustomed to the familiar trackball or side trackwheel), you'll quickly
see that the trackpad gives you lots of freedom to scroll up and down
and left to right using your thumb. It is incredibly intuitive to use.
Furthermore, clicking in the trackpad brings
up an innovative Short Menu that's
context-sensitive. Sometimes, it is so
sensitive it almost seems as if it's reading
your thoughts. Try it: Type an email, then
click the trackpad. Notice that Send is
highlighted so you can simply click the
trackpad again to send your email.
You'll also find some great trackpad features you can adjust to suit your own
preferences.
