    There's no visible alt key like on the Q10.

    Swipe down is ALT!!!

    Once you understand that it's all easy.

    Only confusion is the 0 is now on Q not below X.

    Don't miss it at all. Although does take some getting used to.

    Do you realize that the swipe works only for one character?

    Try typing "128716184"... You have to hold the "alt" key to type numbers.


    Anyway, on excel there appear a fifth virtual row with numbers only. It's not the same as a physical keyboard, but you don't need to invoke the virtual part... even if you could just use the physical one like on every BB before...

    I have learnt to either swipe down for 1 character of hold @123 and type away on the corresponding keys with my left hand. Really nifty. The special characters disappear when letting go as well. I am pleased.

    All my 4 row wants are now filled on 3 rows.

    Does anyone use predictive text? I find it crazy slow to use and prefer to just type out.

    About 3rd row, yes I miss sometimes and not having easy time to adjust in one day of ownership so far. Slow as hell compared to Z30 or Q10...
