What other keyboard shortcuts are there?

I accidently typed /// instead of /"/"/, and it locked my phone.

Thanks sooks... just did mine and everything worked as noted! I have a few more "apps" so I ended up with 54.7 meg - averaged 32.0.0 to 38 before your "tricks list" - thank you.

No that statement is 100% incorrect. trun it off and stare at your device, and from time to time you will still see the send and receive arrows. Has absolutely nothing to do with the GPS. BlackBerry's have done this since the first devices.

Edit: and the event log does not cause the device to lag.

CrackUtil can clear the whole log

2.If you dont now use GPS, go to OPTIONS>ADVANCED OPTIONS> click GPS SERVICES > CHANGE TO E911> this will increase your battery life significantly.

What's the point of having a Storm if all you care about is how much free memory you have, how fast it is, and how much battery is left? Do you sit there all day and hit "Menu" "end" Menu" "end"? With nothing on your phone, you shouldn't have to worry about a few % battery.

I think a Razr, Dare, or Voyager is more up your alley, based on what you're looking for, and your comprehension of the Storm's features.

already had those thanks..... and are you serious? if your a storm owner and are not worried about free app space , speed and battery life , then you have an issue. mabey you should take your own advice and go to a voyager.

The point to doing this is so you can run your device with as many things as possible and not have to worrie about it....... wait until the app store lanches in march, and you download 10 apps and your memory is full , then you be like " o **** what can i do to get more memory ? " now yeah know, also when your running that app for 20 min or more and your battery is dieing and you say o **** how can i get more battery life , now you know , or when you trying to do something on your storm and it lags so much it wont move and you want to make it faster. now you know. how is that bad ?

You two keep it civil please. And Sooks, don't take this the wrong way, but I said it to Brianw7-something, so I have to say to you too. Go ahead and put a 0 in the place of that X. We all know it's .90 and not anything else.
