							About categories
You can create categories to group your contacts, tasks, and memos. You can also narrow the contacts, tasks, and memos 
that appear based on categories.
Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a contact, task, or memo. If you use IBM Lotus 
Notes
, you can apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry smartphone, but only one category synchronizes 
with the task in 
Lotus Notes.
Categories are shared between the contact list, the task list, and the memo list and changes that you make in one 
application are made in all applications.

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.

Word substitution

Word substitution is designed to replace specific text that you type with preloaded word substitution entries. If you type text 
that can be replaced with a word substitution entry, the text changes after you press the Space key.
Your BlackBerry smartphone has built-in word substitution entries that correct common mistakes. For example, word 
substitution changes hte to the. You can create word substitution entries for your common typing mistakes or for 
abbreviations. For example, you might create a word substitution entry that replaces ttyl with talk to you later.
