About typing input methods
You can type on your BlackBerry® device using the SureTypeTM input method or the multi-tap input method. SureType technology combines a traditional phone number key layout with a familiar computer-style letter layout that is designed to provide a comfortable typing and dialing experience. When you use SureType technology, you press the letter key for each letter in a word once. For example, to type run, you would press the key once, the key once, and the key once. As you type, a list of possible letter combinations and words appears on the screen. SureType technology selects letter combinations or words from the list based on context. If you try to type a word or letter combination (for example, a web address or an abbreviation) that SureType technology does not recognize, you can use the list that appears on the screen to build the word letter by letter. SureType technology is designed to "learn" new words or letter combinations that you type and add them to your custom word list. When you use multi-tap, you press a letter key once to type the first letter on the key and twice to type the second letter. For example, to type run, you would press the key twice, the key once, and the key twice. SureType technology is the default typing input method for most fields. Multi-tap is the default for phone number and password fields.
