I have a new BB bold. I have placed an number of events in the calander, and was wondering whether there is a way to "search events" - ie. locating an event rather than scroll thru every day to find it?

Yes, there should an icon called search, it has a magnifying glass on it. IN there you can search your calendar.

Sometimes I press "A" in calendar daily view, so that it changes to agenda view for easy monitoring list of events.
