About typing using different touch screen keyboard styles
When you need to type, your BlackBerry smartphone displays one of three keyboard styles automatically, based on the
field that you type in and the orientation of your smartphone.
If you're using your smartphone in landscape view, you can type using the full keyboard. If you're using your smartphone in
portrait view, you can switch between the full keyboard and the reduced keyboard which you can use with either the
SureType input method or the multi-tap input method. You can set one of these keyboard styles to be your default.
