I didn't see a thread like this, and forgive me if there is one, but I'm bored today and thought I would share some threads I have posted on other forums that were helpful (especially to new BB users).
The following is a list of Curve shortcuts...
First of all, in order to use these, you must go into Phone Options and turn OFF dialing from home screen.
Key shortcuts:
A or C = phonebook S = search F = phone profiles W or B = browser H = help K = locks the keys L = calendar V = messages M = messages folder R = alarm T = tasks U = calculator I = applications O = options P = phone
T - Top of page (in browser) B - Bottom of page (in browser) Space - Page down (in browser) ALT + Right Shift + Del = hard reset D - Memo pad U - Switch between hide/unhide in title bar (in browser) ALT + NMLL = numbers instead of bars for signal strength
Yes I am! Plus I was reading the "what are your side-key shortcuts" thread and a lot of people have one of those set as keyboard lock. I just wanted to share the fact that the K button does the same, if anyone didn't already know.
Plus I love having the shortcuts in list form so I can always go back to the same thread to find them.
Just a little add... if you turn off the input lang. selction shortcut, pressing alt+ent 2x locks keyboard... and you can keep dialing from home screen on
