SureType

SureType is a QWERTY-based character input method for cell phones which is used on the BlackBerry Pearl.

SureType combines a traditional telephone keypad with a QWERTY-based keyboard to create a non-standard way to input text on a cell phone.

In addition, SureType contains a list of 35,000 English words, so when a user types the beginning of a word, all the possible words which start with those letters show up on the screen.

[1] SureType was developed by BlackBerry vendor Research in Motion.
