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 keyboard detects the
language you are using and predicts the words for that language as you type. Some
applications open the on-screen keyboard automatically, for example, email and text
messaging applications.
