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.
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 key twice, the key once, and the 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. 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.

Switch typing input methods

1. In the device options, click Language.
2. Perform one of the following actions:
• To use the multi-tap input method, set the Input Language field to <Language> Multitap.
• To use the SureType® input method, set the Input Language field to <Language>.

About multiple message lists
Depending on your email setup option, you might be able to associate your BlackBerry® device with more than one email account. For example, you might be able to associate your device with a work email account and one or more personal email accounts. If you associate your device with more than one email account, multiple message lists might appear on your device. In a message list for a specific email account, you can open and manage email messages for that email account, and you can send messages using the email address for the email account. For more information about associating your device with more than one email account, see the BlackBerry Internet Service Online Help.
Depending on your theme, a separate message list might appear for SMS text messages and MMS messages.

MMS messages

MMS message basics

About MMS messages
With an MMS phone number, you can send and receive MMS messages that contain media files such as .jpg, .gif, .wbmp, .midi, .vcf (vCard®), .ics (iCalendar), .avi, .mpg, or .mov files. An MMS phone number is a phone number that your wireless service provider sets up for MMS messaging. If you have more than one phone number associated with your BlackBerry® device, your device sends MMS messages using the first phone number that appears in the drop-down list at the top of the Phone screen.
You can add pictures that are not copyright protected to an MMS message, but the message cannot exceed 300 KB.

For more information about associating your device with more than one email account, see the BlackBerry Internet Service Online Help.
Depending on your theme, a separate message list might appear for SMS text messages and MMS messages.
