How to type foreign characters on BB Bold?
- Is it possible to use the Bold to read and type Russian characters?
My provider is Rogers Wireless and I have been told that it's not?
Just double checking.
I am getting sick and tried of my iPhone with it's stupid battery life and constant bugs/crashes but I can't let go of it and get Bold until I know that I can type in Russian letters.10-01-08 10:38 AMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorОчень приятно
No problem, BlackBerry provides support for Europian languages including the Cyrillic alphabet for use with Russian.

And I asked several times in that thread for someone to type russian word using english keypad and nobody replied.
I just don't understand one thing:
If the Bold has English keypad and unlike iPhone can not magically toggle between russian/english layout, then how will I know what I am typing?
If I want to enter a Russian word, how would I do it using english keypad? That's all I need to know and nobody seems to understand :'(
In your reply (about The Quick Brown Fox) it didn't show anything because the screenshot you provided has just some random russian letters that do not make a sentence. It's like "kjahfwkjn afjfwanjaf fabfwahb" in English.10-01-08 03:55 PMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorI can appreciate how meaningless that example was, they are just random characters with no meaning. I have to admit, I was really disappointed that it didn't even display correctly as posted.
Unfortunately, I do not know Russian and I can not offer any insight into the usability of the keyboard for input.
Perhaps one of our members, with a working knowledge of the language, can contribute some insight.10-01-08 09:19 PMLike 0
