I have a BB 8830 World Edition. Is there any way to automatically have my calendar pop up each morning (let's say at 6 or 7 AM) so that I can see that days' tasks as soon as I first look at my phone for that particular day?

Thanks

You could use 1) a different theme that shows your first couple calendar items on the homescreen, 2) PocketDay, I believe, does the same.

Look at your Themes at Options > Themes.

JSanders suggestion is probably your best bet. You could also set the convenience key to open your calendar. They way it pops up with the press of one button.

True that, Mr. Conyers. If one touch calendar is what he needs, then the shortcut L to the calendar will also work good.
