About typing input methods
You can type on your BlackBerry® device using the SureType® input method or the multi-
tap input method.
SureType technology combines a traditional phone-style key layout with a familiar
computer-style letter layout that is designed to provide a quick and comfortable typing and
dialing experience.
SureType technology is designed to predict words as you type them. When you use
SureType technology, you press the letter key for each letter in a word once until the word
appears in a list that appears on the screen. For example, to type run, you would press the
R key once, the U key once, and so on until run appears in the list.
