Learning from Messages fields to Off. Save the
changes.
Can I change the order of items in
the list that appears when I type?

my device?

input method in phone number and password fields.

typing, hold the * key.
To use the multi-tap input method in all fields, in the

If you type text and the AutoText feature
automatically replaces it, you can undo the change by
pressing the Backspace/Delete key twice.
When I type words, an indicator
appears at the end of the word list.
What does this indicator mean?
If the current input language of your BlackBerry®
device is different from the default language of your
device, a rectangle with the short form of the current
input language appears in the word list.
