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
.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you  update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if  your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.

About synchronization conflicts
A synchronization conflict occurs when you change the same email or organizer data item on your BlackBerry smartphone 
and in the email application on your computer.
If you reconcile your email using wireless email reconciliation, on your smartphone, you can set whether the email on your  smartphone or the email on your computer takes precedence when an email reconciliation conflict occurs.

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.
About typing using different touch screen keyboard styles

field that you type in and the orientation of your smartphone.

SureType input method or the multi-tap input method. You can set one of these keyboard styles to be your default.
