The T-Mobile G1 is a great phone for texting, especially with the landscape QWERTY keyboard. With this in mind, I have provided some tricks below on how to enhance your texting experience with this quality phone:

ALT + Delete – Delete one line of text.
ALT + Q – Indention / tab.
ALT + Spacebar – Insert a special character.
ALT + Trackball – Put cursor at start or end of text.
Menu + A – Select all of the text that you have made.
Shift Twice – Enable ALL CAPS mode.
Shift + Trackball – Highlight / select a section of text.

You can also copy/paste text by following the steps below:

Copying – Select the text that you want to copy by using Shift+Trackball, hold the trackball in, and then select the “Copy” option.
Pasting – Place the cursor where you would like your text to be pasted, hold the trackball in, and then select the “Paste” option. Your copied text then will appear.
