About SMS text messages

With an SMS phone number, you can send and receive SMS text messages. An SMS phone number is a phone number that your wireless

You can send SMS text messages to contacts who have SMS phone numbers. You can also forward SMS text messages as PIN or email

messages.

About multiple message lists

Depending on your email setup option, you might be able to associate your BlackBerry® device with more than one email account. For

example, you might be able to associate your device with a work email account and one or more personal email accounts. If you associate

your device with more than one email account, multiple message lists might appear on your device. In a message list for a specific email

account, you can open and manage email messages for that email account, and you can send messages using the email address for the

email account. See the BlackBerry Internet Service Online Help for more information about associating your device with more than one

email account.

Depending on your theme, a separate message list might appear for SMS and MMS messages.

Typing input methods

About typing in Arabic or Russian

If your BlackBerry® Device Software supports multiple languages and your keyboard displays Arabic or Russian letters, you can type in

Arabic or Russian using the SureType® input method or the multi-tap input method.

When you use the SureType input method, you press the letter key for each letter in a word once, even if two letters appear on the key. As

you type, a list of possible letter combinations and words appears on the screen. SureType technology selects letter combinations or words

from the list based on context. If you try to type a word or letter combination (for example, a web address or an abbreviation) that

SureType technology does not recognize, you can use the list that appears on the screen to build the word letter by letter. SureType

technology is designed to "learn" new words or letter combinations that you type and add them to your custom word list.

When you use the multi-tap input method, you press a letter key once to type the first letter on a key and twice to type the second letter,

if a second letter appears on the key.

SureType technology is the default typing input method for most fields. Multi-tap is the default for phone number and password fields.

You can set your typing input method for all fields to multi-tap.

key.
