Awsome tips! I like the Keylock a lot. I hit the 'K' key and whammo.... LOCKED! Keeps those prying eyes off your BlackBerry smartphone when you don't want them to see what's up!

Good write up!

Cheers!

Oh, and though it might be obvious to others, it wasn't obvious to me... the "Options>General Options" screen is the one from the CALL SCREEN. Duh.

These tips are awesome. Bbfaqs and stin faqs add to this so much. Now I have to relearn to read on paper instead of screen. BTW, u took the space bar off computer but hitting it doesn't turn the printed pages.

Thanks for the tips. I have added a memo with the ones I will use the most. This is to ensure I will have access to them until I remember them all (Grandma brain).
Thanks again.

WHY!!!???

Just hold the call button. I don't mean press it once, I mean hold it for 2 second and see what I mean. It's a built in shortcut. Use it
I didn't know this but I do now....thanks alot. I just used the "a" shortcut

I've been using BlackBerry devices for years, and didn't know this! Thanks.

These are great tips. I was wondering can someone put this into like a one page cheat sheet. It would be helpful to be able to look at one spot without have to scroll down to find the gotcha or the watch out when your doing something that the first post shows.

Another one that I use on my Curve is holding the key of the letter I want capitalized. You have to hold it down for a second instead of tapping it. Great for names in the middle of a sentence.
