Selecting word suggestions that appear on your keyboard
Your BlackBerry device is designed to learn what you tend to say and where in a sentence you tend to say it. Your device uses this information to try to predict what word you'll type next and displays suggested words on the keyboard.
Select a suggested word
To use a word that appears on the keyboard, place your
finger just below the word and flick it up onto the screen.
Change where word suggestions appear
By default, word suggestions appear on the keyboard so that you don't have to look above where you're typing to see the suggestions. If you have difficulty selecting the suggestions, or you find the keyboard looks cluttered, you can set the suggestions to appear above the keyboard instead.
