You do realize you have a BlackBerry, right? It is the premier mobile email device on the market right now.

To answer your question, there's no shortcut key that I'm aware of. You could separate your email and SMS inboxes. Go into the SMS inbox and press the menu key, the first selection should be to compose SMS.

BB is with the times. Email is the premier electronic communication method. How many businesses have a number for you to text them on?

Love it and highly recommend works on 8300 /9000 confirmed!

I have a work bb (8700g) and a personal bb 9000...And yes email perferred 10 times over.. but some of my contacts are two cheap to pay for a phone data plan(so I compromise).

SMS far to short for anything meaningful...thankfully bb will thread them together!

I do this pretty often. SMS limits you to 160 characters. If I need to send something lengthy, I email it. A lot of my personal friends have BlackBerry devices or mobile email devices including the iPhone or Windows Mobile devices.

And DC represent!

Actually, if you go to your contact list, and press the menu key you should have the option of emailing, SMS, MMS the person. This should work out better.
