For a device without a touchscreen the keyboard input is really quite clever. You are presented with a "keyboard" that looks something like this:
q w e | r t y | u i o
a s d | f g h | j k l
z x c | v b n | m p '
When the cursor is in the entry area, if you hit the middle button, the cursor is placed on the g. If you hit the right side of the silver button around the middle button the cursor is placed on the k. And if you hit the left side of the silver button the cursor is placed on the s. If you hit down on the silver button you the cursor is put on a space, to the left is a delete all button, to the right is a hyphen and below are the entry buttons.
This system makes it so that you are never more than 2 clicks away from the letter you need to enter. Very ingenious!
