Typing text

Use one of the following methods to type text containing letters, numbers and other
characters:
Slide-out keyboard
On-screen keyboard
Phonepad

entering text for that application. For example, if you are viewing the conversations list in
the Messaging application, you can slide out the keyboard and immediately start entering
text for a new message you want to send. Or when you're viewing your contact list in the
Contacts application, you can start a search for a contact by sliding out the keyboard and
typing the relevant keywords.
