landscape keyboard is not supported in all applications.)

changes to indicate the current case you are using:
for lowercase, for uppercase, and when
locked in uppercase.

XT9 Text Input
XT9 Text Input can speed up text input by replacing
the key tapping motion of input with a tracing gesture
where you move your finger from letter to letter without
lifting the finger until you reach the end of the word.
XT9 offers three keyboard layouts: Keyboard, Reduced
keyboard, and Phone keypad.
• Keyboard
Move your finger from letter to letter to trace a word
without lifting the finger until you reach the end of
the word.
The trace feature is also available in the Reduced
keyboard layout and Phone keypad layout.
• Reduced keyboard
• Phone keypad
To use the toolbar:
NOTE: The icon is available when more than
one language is activated. You can select more input
languages by pressing the Menu Key > Settings
> Language & keyboard > XT9 Text Input >
Languages and settings from the Home Screen.
Tips for using XT9 Text Input:
• Ignore double letters – XT9 Text Input will figure
those out for you automatically.
• Tap when you want to. If you want to enter a single
letter, go ahead and tap.
• Lift your finger at the end of the word. A space is
added automatically when you begin to trace the
next word.
