About typing using different 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 portrait view, you can switch between the SureType® keyboard, multi-tap keyboard and full keyboard, and you can set one of these keyboard styles to be your default. If you're using your smartphone in landscape view, you can type using the full keyboard.
