Typing
on the Windows Phone 7 virtual keyboard is pretty straightforward.
Still, the keyboard might not always behave like the one on your PC, so
it doesn’t hurt to go over some of the basics.
1. Type a Letter
To enter a letter, just tap it.
To
enter an uppercase letter, tap the Shift key. To turn on Caps Lock,
press and hold Shift or double-tap it. Tap it again to turn Caps Lock
off.
Tip:
In some cases the keyboard knows enough to automatically capitalize a word—at the start of a new sentence, for example.
Tip:
If you don’t want to hear the
keyboard’s tapping sound, tap Settings > Ringtones & Sounds, and
then clear the Key Press sound effect option.
2. Type a Number or Symbol
Tap the &123 key.
Find the number or symbol you want to type, and then tap it.
If you don’t see the character you’re looking for, tap the More key for additional options.
Tap the ABCD key to switch back to the alphabet.
