To open the phone and access the keyboard:
1. Rotate the phone 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
2. Slide the top section of the phone up to open, as
shown in the illustration. When you slide the phone
open, the display rotates from a vertical viewing
mode (portrait) to a horizontal viewing mode
(landscape).

Mode
Just as the screen orientation is changed, so is the
functionality of both the softkeys and the navigation key.
The Up/Down/Left/Right options of the navigation key
are also adjusted when the phone changes from
portrait to landscape modes.
