yes, when you go to messaging, it reverts to the qwerty keyboard....just hold the phone sideways.

it doesn't seem to have a qwerty keyboard in every application though... :-(

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

No, just a keypad for easy texting. Good and durable for my daughter. Does not have any of the features my Iphone has.

Does this keyboard have keys for using Microsoft Word, like cnt-B for bold-face type, etc.?

Not that I'm aware of. The QWERTY keyboard my wife uses slides out from behind the touch screen.

Yes, very easy to text with but my phone had alot of issues with the touch screen not working well. A bunch of reviews came back with this same problem. I am sure not all of the touches have this problem. Check it first before you purchase.

No, it doesn't. I haven't gotten one yet, I only use the touch screen keyboard which is pretty good. I might get a wireless keyboard in future if I need to do more typing.

you can buy an attachment if you want a qwerty keyboard. I did and loved it. otherwise it is a touch screen only.

No, it does not. Also missing from keyboard functionality are indicator lights for caps/num/scroll lock states.

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.

Yes, it has the "voice-to-text" feature built in. When you go to send a text it is left from the spacebar. Just like apple products.

No, I do not believe so. Mine only had a plain keyboard with white printed text keys. Hope that helps!

Yes, it does. In the upper right side of the keyboard, there are buttons for these features.

Yes the keyboard is in QWERTY style. There are also other English and International styles to choose from for 2014.

I just recently got texting on my plan, but I really don't use it. It does work, I have successfully sent and received messages. Kind of a pain in the butt without a QWERTY keyboard.

Nope, it doesn't. And it is a very difficult keyboard to type on. Choose another in my opinion.
