| |  Cool Tricks on the Blackberry
What is your favorite trick to use on your Blackberry?
I just learned that you can hold alt and type the words of a number like 1800-BestBuy and it will call them.
I am a new blackberry user so just learning how to use my curve and looking for other cool tricks |

Welcome aboard!
The one I use the most is alt+esc to toggle between the apps.

One I seem to use the most is alt+shift+h to get my bb information like my pin etc. Good stuff.
I use the short cut keys for txt meddages a lot as well.

Is there a way to send messages without double clicking the trackball? Like a keyboard shortcut...

The biggest trick I learned is that you can hide pictures.
Yes hit the menu button and then send.

What I use most often is to reply to a text, when reading text, just hit "r" and starting typing back! |

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Not really, but you can hit menu and then trackball. Same move but one less trackball click.
