The purpose is to visually identify work versus personal email, so I believe you need to have BES and BIS setup to get this option.

My all-time favorite is the shortcut to locking down the keyboard: hold the ALT and ENTER keys down simultaneously.

Nice tip, now I can change the convenience key to something else!

[kch50428]

Nice tip, now I can change the convenience key to something else!

Yes.

Under the 'Options' menu, select 'screen/keyboard' - then change the value for 'Convenience Key Opens' - and change it to whatever app you want to run when the button gets hit.

Is the BB 8830 capable of Push To Talk on a BES network?

[P.H.A.D.E]

If you guys get a lot of calls and need to remember something (a note) about it. Then the following is perfect for you:

While on a call:
Hit the menu key
Scroll down to NOTES
Type your note
Hit the menu key and "Hide Notes" (If Finished W/ Notes)

To Retrieve Note:
Go to your call log
Highlight the call where you put the note
Hit the menu key
Hit View History

NOTE: Common Sense Suggest That You Type In The Note If You Have The Call On Speaker, Headset or Bluetooth

PS: You Can Also Add Notes To Any of Your PREVIOUS Calls That You Made By Doing The "Retrieve Note" Steps

[SuperMesh]

I Don't Know If This Has Been Posted Before But........

If You Guys Hold Down Any Letter Down For About 1 Second, You Can Assign It A Speed Dial For That Specific Letter?

That Means You Can Have Up To 26 Different Speed Dial For Your 88XX Phone.

I've heard some great shortcuts for Key Lock, but a friend of mine just got me onto something different. Let's say you wanna put your phone in your pocket, but you don't want to make a call or something.

Instead of engaging the Key Lock, which requires two hands and some attention, why not reach for the mute button, hold it down for a couple seconds, and there you go. The phone is now in standby ad can be exited by pressing the mute button again.

Besides being a one-handed move, which is key when on the go, you save battery power because your screen goes dark until it is out of standby. Not bad, eh?

You can still receive calls, get IMs, and calendar notices too!

Is there a negative to this method? Is there any reason why I should go back to using Key Lock?
