Keyboard and typing
The BlackBerry Keyboard consists of a three-row physical keyboard, and one or more rows of touch screen keys above the
keyboard. The touch screen keys are dynamic and change depending on the application you are using or the mode you
have set.
The keyboard is responsive to touch for typing and navigation. You tap the keyboard to type and you can touch the
keyboard to add predictive text, delete text, control the cursor, and add accented characters. In apps that rely on accurate
finger placement, for example when you edit text, this keyboard provides the most precise finger placement detection yet!

Android app support
Get apps and games designed for Android smartphones and install them on your BlackBerry device with the Amazon
Appstore!
Your device uses BlackBerry Guardian to check the integrity of the Android apps you download to your device. BlackBerry
Guardian can warn you if the app is potentially harmful to your device or data, and gives you the option to cancel or
continue the installation.
Android apps that you download to your device are more closely integrated with the BlackBerry 10 OS. When you tap the
share icon in an
Android app, you can share the Android app content with contacts that are associated with other apps on
your device (for example, BBM contacts) or share the information with another app (for example, the BlackBerry
Remember app). Also, on the Accounts screen, you can view accounts that are associated with some Android apps that
you download to your device.
