BlackBerry has great features you may not be using

The BlackBerry’s physical keyboard lets you take advantage of many shortcuts. Some are obvious, like using the space bar to page down; and holding Shift at the same time to page up. You can actually move back and forth between applications without navigating back to the screen. Press Alt and Escape, then release Escape and use the trackwheel on the side of your phone to select the desired program. Then press Alt again to select it.

When you are checking a list of emails, hit C to compose one yourself. When an email is highlighted, press R to reply, F to forward it or J to see the oldest message in that email chain. In the body of a message, pressing the space bar twice inserts a period and capitalizes the next word.

Press the left Shift and Alt at the same time to activate the number

lock. Or press the right Shift and Alt for the caps lock. Holding any letter

down will capitalize it. Using AutoText code in email can save time. Type “my

number” to display your BlackBerry phone number; LD for the local date.
