I was using my Bold today and was admiring how much I like the side keys for quick shortcuts and the theme I currently have on there to make it easy to find all my icons without ever using the blackberry key.

I got to thinking I wonder how everyone else sets up their Bold; do they use all the keyboard shortcuts or not, what are their side convenience keys, do they lock the keyboard with the icon or just use the standby key. What theme do they currently use and why. You don't have to go into too much depth but I thought it would be interesting to see.

Currently I'm using the Cipher Sidebar Extreme them because I like the ability to have 15 icons on my front screen and not use my BB key. I have 13 icons set up and two folders with things that I use occasionally in them.

My left side convenience key is my text messages and my right is BB messenger. The theme I use has my calendar and emails on the front so I don't need icons for those, as well as having my profiles for quick into vibrate and my connections for jumping into wi-fi/bluetooth quickly.

My icons on the side range from everything to the address book and alarm all the way down to Bolt and Slacker. The folders have applications that I use occasionally and some that I use rarely in them.

On a side note I'm always changing my theme and my accompaining background picture. Get most of my wallpapers directly from this beloved site besides personal pictures and such.

Looking forward to what everyone else has set up. Have a good day everyone.

I just use the regular precision silver theme with a solid black wallpaper. Easier to see notifications right away.

My left side convinience key is for keyboard lock. The right is for my "capture-it" screen shots.

I'll have to try that Cipher theme, it sounds great to have 15 icons plus email and calendar.

I found a Windows Vista-styled theme (I can't remember where I got it!) that has 9 icons plus the email and calendar.

Left key = Personal Gmail Right key = company email

I have "E" Series SideScroll by ecruz, it's pretty much the cypher theme without the cool clock font, but with the ability to customize the top right icon (deal breaker there Cypher). Grab it for free at Pimp My Berry! - Pimp Your BlackBerry!

15 apps is way too many to list, so I will just list the first six. Top right is my weather app (deal breaker cypher ). In the left side bar I have, Viigo, Opera Mini, my IM folder, Music (this is now my mp3 player) and finally the clock. I have turned off home-screen dialing because the shortcuts impress none blackberry users (yea I'm that shallow). The theme also has messages and calendar on screen, that really helps me keep check which supermodel I'm supposed to be seeing each night (I don't think they bought it ... keep going)

Left key is the video camera with the light set to always on. It makes moving around after I've turned the light off (my light switches are seriously in the oddest places.)

Right key is default to regular camera until I find a more important job for it, so I'll be reading this thread for ideas.
