Can anyone help please? Don't know if I activated it or what, but when I write "de" and press space, it writes Sun, April 29Th, 2012 for example... I know it doesnt seem like a big deal to you but I am foreign and I need to write "de" in my language. Thanks...
You might have word substitution turned on. Go to your phone Options, then Typing and Language, then Word Substitution. Search for an entry for "de". Is there one there? If so, you can delete it.
(If there is an entry in your Word Substitution list, it would look something like this: 'de (%D)', which would insert the date every time you typed "de")

This is a great tip! I've owned a blackberry for years and never knew about the word substitution setting. Thanks!
No problem. It's a great feature that I use quite often, i.e. "omw" for "on my way", and "em1" as a shortcut for my primary email address, as two examples.
hmmmm, the lt shortcut works, but I don't know how I'd be able to get the date to display in an email or text without manually typing it.
To get a shortcut for the date, go into the Word Substitution options and create a new entry, let's say for "dt", with a value of "%D" (without the quotes). Then whenever you type "dt" followed by a space, you'll get the date.
