Note: Preset messages make composing text messages even easier by
allowing you to enter preset messages, such as “Meet me at,”“Let's get
lunch,”or a customized message of your own. (For more information on
preset messages, please see “Managing Preset Messages”on page 62.)
Entering Text With the QWERTY® Keyboard
Your phone features a slide-out QWERTY® keyboard,
specifically designed for easy and comfortable text entry.

like the keyboard on your computer. The easiest way to enter
text is by using your thumbs to type on the QWERTY®
keyboard.
To enter text with the QWERTY® keyboard:
1. In a text entry screen, slide open the QWERTY®
keyboard. (The display automatically adjusts to
landscape mode.)
2. Use your thumbs to enter text.
