Input methods
The PDA phone has a number of input methods to choose from. When using the phone
function, simply use the QWERTY keyboard to enter the phone number then press the Send
key. When using a program that supports text input, you have the option of using the
QWERTY keyboard or choosing from a number of ‘soft’ input methods from the Input Panel
to enter typed text. The stylus is available as a point-and-click device for navigation. Finally,
you can use the stylus to handwrite or make drawings (for certain programs that support
this) and have the results saved as graphics. For example, in Notes, you can literally scribble
notes on the touchscreen and save them to a file.
Entering typed text
When you need to enter typed text in a program, you can do so either with the QWERTY
keyboard or one of the input methods provided by the Input Panel. The Input Panel is an
icon on the menu bar when you open a program that supports text input.
Using the QWERTY keyboard
The QWERTY keyboard allows you to enter text conveniently - just type on it. You can use
the QWERTY keyboard any time you need to type something. For example, use the
QWERTY keyboard to key in the phone number you wish to dial in Phone. Or type in a long
block of text into your Calendar or Word Mobile. The QWERTY keyboard makes text entry
very convenient and is an efficient alternative to the soft input methods as described below.
