numbers, symbols, etc., you can either use the

onscreen (Android) keyboard or QWERTY keyboard.

the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this

orientation.

To use the onscreen keyboard in Landscape mode,

this feature must first be enabled.

See “Changing the Screen Orientation” on page 57.

Your device provides convenient ways to enter letters,

numbers, and symbols whenever you are prompted to

or when using email and text messaging).
