Hi Bob, You don't have to download a keyboard. Some of us do because we want to try another one or like one feature or another.The web site is getting better as it adds more material. Truthfully, I seldom use a keyboard on my phone now. I talk to it more than I type on it. It works pretty well even with my southern accent. Smile.
