thanks for the reply,
tsac, but i think what you posted is for the other Blackberry models?
"To type an accented or special character, press and hold the letter key and slide your finger on the trackpad left or right. Click a selected character.
For example, to type ü, press and hold 3 and slide your finger on the trackpad to the left until ü is highlighted. Click the trackpad. "
when i do press and hold 3 and use the trackpad, it will only show d,e,f,D,E,F, since the Pearl 9105 is a non-QWERTY phone.
I appreciate your reply still, tsac!
i hope to hear from you again
