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 computerstyle 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.

When you use multi-tap, you press a letter key once to type the first letter on the key and twice to type the second letter. For example, to type run, you would press the 1 key twice, the 3 key once, and the 8 key twice.

SureType technology is the default typing input method for most fields. Multi-tap is the default typing input method for phone number and password fields

Type text using SureType technology

1. Press the letter key once for each letter in a word.

2. Perform one of the following actions:

• To select an item from the list that appears when you type and start typing a new word, highlight the item. Press the

Enter key.

• To select an item from the list that appears when you type and continue typing the same word, click the item.

• To change a letter in a word that you are typing, highlight the letter.

3. Click the alternate letter that appears on the screen. To change a letter in a word after you finish

typing the word, click the word. Highlight the letter. Click the alternate letter that appears on the screen.
