About synchronization and reconciliation
The wireless data synchronization and wireless email reconciliation features are designed to synchronize organizer data 
(contacts, calendar entries, tasks, and memos) and reconcile email between your 
BlackBerry smartphone and the email 
application on your computer over the wireless network.
In rare cases, if your smartphone doesn't recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or  email can't be synchronized or reconciled.
If wireless data synchronization isn't available on your smartphone or if you turned off this feature, you can use the 
BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry 
Desktop Software
.

Typing input methods
About typing input methods
The typing input method that you use determines how you type. For example, if you're using the predictive input method,  your 
BlackBerry smartphone displays a list of suggested words as you type so that you don't have to type the entire word.
The language that you're typing in determines the typing input methods that are available. If you're typing in a language 
that has multiple typing input methods, you can switch between typing input methods when you're typing. When you're 
typing in certain fields such as password fields, your smartphone might automatically switch your typing input method.
