Hello, does this phone have a virtual keyboard for texting, or must the qwerty keyboard be attached?

It has both virtual & qwerty. The qwerty comes up when you turn the phone horizontal. We have found it very difficult to text, though as you have to push each letter multiple times & usually the wrong letter is hit. I bought this as a replacement phone for my 10 year old and regret it! Looking forward to her upgrade date on our mobile plan to get something else.

Mine has both the virtual touch screen keyboard and slide-out qwerty keyboard which I prefer for big fingers.

Yes, there is a keyboard for texting, which pops up(when the phone is in the vertical position) whether the qwerty is attached or not. Turn it to the horizontal position and the virtual keyboard disappears and you can type on the qwerty. It is much easier and faster to text using the qwerty keypad though...the qwerty has all the letters and the virtual keypad has the Abc, Def, etc...that you have to scan through to get the right letter.

It comes with Google Keyboard so it support natively swiping, but you need to know that SwiftKey the leader in this kind of keyboards is now free.

Good luck with that-ours was the V key and it would just take off typing V across the screen without being touched! We returned two for same reason.

Yes you can text. The keys are small but there is a stylus included that makes it easy to txt

Hello.First of all, this is an obsolete phone and there is no more updates on Android. This one stuck at 2.1 version and if you want a more recent version of operatonal system, it will require to root the phone but the hardware does not support the latest version of android.The 8Gb memory card is NOT part of the original package. Most operator include it for marketing purposes.The QWERTY keyboard is available through settings. If you are thinking on a physical keyboard, there is no such think on this one.I suggest you to go for a more recent equipment.

It does not have a Qwerty keyboard. For a Qwerty keyboard option look at the LG Windows phone.

Hi there,As far as I know, no, it does not. I focus mainly on digital painting, but I've been playing around with this guy for a few weeks and I have not seen a virtual keyboard. But if you are a PC user (I work on Mac) you might get that windows keyboard. Hope that helps.

Believe you can text, but I never used it. The sound is good depending on where you are and who your carrier is The tiny keyboard is querty.

Not with android devices. Pressing a key will bring up the virtual keyboard on screen.

Yes there is a touch keyboard that comes up on the screen similar to one on a smart phone. I am typing this from it now. ..:-)

No, but since it is a keyboard I didn't need a stylus to type. I have an inexpensive stylus that I can use on my android if I need it.

I bought 2 phones and both have problems with the keyboard! Very bad service, I send a review but never had an answer.

Do you mean the phone says it's locked WHILE you're having a conversation or the keyboard locks and you have to push codes/buttons everytime to unlock the keyboard? You DONT mean the phone is locked and you can't access it, right? I just ordered my phone and will have it aug 3 so wanna be prepared. Never had a smart phone before..thanks

The keyboard is attached to the case. It works very well, and the battery lasts a long time.

I don't know, I have only used it prepaid. I can only get the verizon web service, and I don't know if that's because it's prepaid or its just the phone. I love the qwerty keyboard, that was my biggest reason the buy it, along with the price. Sorry I can't help more.
