i wuz makin some calls. the dial pad is gone the txt keyboards r all gone, not a single one. Umm im new to BBs so i dont now where to find diagnostics like my version. i got the update from verizon tho, thats 8.5 rite?
slow down take a breath...if you go to send a text message the keyboard does not show up right?...try pushing the BB button (the one one the bottom right next to the green call button) there should be a menu that pops up with a selection that says "show keyboard" see if that works, if not you might just need to wipe your device and reinstall your OS. see if that works if not search the forums for "device wipe"
sounds like a straight software issue, you came to the right place
