How to Get Different Keyboards on Evo
The HTC Evo 4G has multiple methods of text entry. A default touchscreen keyboard and Swype are native to the device, as well as speech-to-text functionality. With access to the Android Market, the HTC Evo 4G is also compatible with many other keyboards that can be used as replacements for those native to the phone. The default keyboard for text entry can be changed freely by accessing the smartphone's settings, allowing you to determine which keyboard you're most comfortable using.
