Selecting word suggestions that appear while you type
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 might type next and displays
suggested words on the BlackBerry Keyboard. You can then use flick typing to quickly select a
suggested word, by placing your finger just below the word and flicking it up towards the message
screen.

Change where word suggestions appear
By default, word suggestions appear on the BlackBerry 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.
