Access the keyboard by touching any text entry field. The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the screen. Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the phone is being held in a portrait (upright) or landscape (sideways) orientation. Keys The keys on the QWERTY keyboard are associated with alphabetic letters, special characters, or numbers. Based on your keyboard settings, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and all consecutive letters are kept in lowercase unless you touch the Shift key ( ) or enter a period.
