QSMS - Free Keyboard Shortcut To Compose SMS | BerryReview

Wow! Works great! Thanks...that's two great useful apps in one day!

Does this work on SureType too?

I don't know why not... it takes you to your address book to select an entry for the SMS... I have a curve, so I can't say for sure.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, works great!

It seems to be just a shortcut to the SMS app but I'll take it. It saves me 2 clicks.

I don't need it, I just thought my daughter might like it if it worked on the Pearl too.

Thanks, this is great

It doesn't work using the QW key on SureType devices as there is no option to disable Home Screen Dialing. It does work if you click on the icon that the application creates, which is handy.

You can try to use the convinience key, just assign the app to convinience key if you don't use it for something else.

Hmmm... when I press 'C' it defaults to Compose SMS Message

finally! thanks - now if only someone can figure out how to set the blackberry to always default to using mobile cell number fpr sms and not giving us non mobile number choices. I never understood this maybe negative on BB's part.

this QSMS file seems to be a .jad file, how do I load when Application Loader seems to only recognise .cod files?

OTA, or use the following utility:

Blackberry OTA downloader | download free OTA themes to your desktop

Awesome. Thanks.

OTA link is broken :(

Never mind....

for some reason i can't get it to work .. i installed it but when i press Q it doesn't lead to the program instead it tells me to assign a number to speed dial Q .. can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ?

Just press Q don't hold it down.

Installed on my Bold and it's working like a charm!

i tried that .. i tried both ways .. it still didn''t work .. that's not the problem, it's something else .. i just don't know what

You have disabled calling from screen right?

That's what I was missing .. Something I should have done a long time ago actually .. thanks!

For some reason my "compose" shortcut, the letter "C" from the home screen only does sms messages now. I didn't install any of the apps to custmize convenience keys and my old BBerry didn't do this (8800)--it defaulted to email when I pressed "C" from the home screen. Now my Bold is defaulting to sms with the "C"key and I'd like to know how to change it back to email. Any thoughts?

Awesome application. Would be even better with something like a SMS speed dial that I could assign some of my most common SMS contacts to a key that would directly open a blank SMS addressed to them.
