Back in the day I've had the RIM 850 and the BlackBerry 6210, and I always used the shortcut keys from the home screen, like 'M' for Messages and 'O' for Options, etc.

Today I got a 7230 from work, and they seem to be disabled. Did RIM discontinue those shortcut keys to hop between apps? Or is it just some setting I can't seem to find to activate them?

Thanks.

Go in to the phone app --> options --> general options --> where is says dial from home screen make sure it is set to NO, that should enable the short cuts your looking the use.

Jackpot. That did it. I never had home screen dialing on my 6210.

Thanks a lot.
