Just noticed that if I touch(not click) a message and hold my finger there it will do a search for messages with the same subject. An interesting way to filter your message list.
Quick question: is there any way to make the home screen only have one row of buttons? I don't mind having to open the whole application list, and instead only having a few on the home screen. I like seeing a big picture as my background.

From the home screen, hit the Blackberry Menu button twice. Second drop down box is how many lines are in your home screen.
If you don't like viewing websites in the mobile versions then do the steps below. This will ensure you that you will never see the mobile version of a website.
Go to
Browser>Menu Key>Options>Browser Configuration>Browser Identification>

If you hold down the menu keey for 2-3 seconds in any app or menu a little sub menu pops up with all the programs you currently have open. This allows you to switch back and forth from app to app seamlessly without having to go back to the menu.
Edit: after a little bit of playing around I found it's not the current open apps it's just a list of commonly used apps. It's still really nice for multitasking though.
