best thing is quicklaunch (its an app u can buy for a few dollars-- and pending it woeks with os7) you assign it to the convenience key, so that when you hit the key.... it can take you to all kinda stuff (that u pre programed) That way-- youre not limiting yourself to one function. forgive my crappy punctuation.... using my playbook and it really blows in some areas

Auto link right to porno... Helps make my day brighter every time I click it. What about the wife you say? Well that's why you put a big *** password on the phone
I have it set to password lock on my 9700 (the other is set to camera, but I'm prepared to lose that when I get the 9900).
I don't like the screen timing out and going into lock too quickly if I'm distracted by a conversation or another task and locking when I'm in the middle of a task. So I have the delay set to the longest time possible. But then, when I am about to put away my phone, rather than have it in my pocket or leave on a desk and staying unlocked for too long, I just hit the convenience key. Password lock instantly kicks in.
I can't think of the Double (Focus) Click of the Right Convencience Key (or Camera Button), is nice to use as a common Shortcut.
The Feedback you get by using it is weird and after a while I think the difference between the first and last click will be vanished so it get's hard to AutoFocus (or was this Device Lacking that feature anyway?)
Although, when I get my BB9900 I think I'll try setting it to QuickLaunch or use an App like SixTools so I can use my Volume Keys as Convenience Keys =).
Many of the applications mentioned already have very nice shortcuts on the keyboard, so I wouldn't put them on a convenience key.
Also, quicklaunch can be launched with the space bar.... so no need for wasting the quicklaunch on the convenience key.
I am using my notepad more and more for my work... it's a snappy, simple program. So I put that on my convenience key. The camera seems like a good idea, too. (although the camera just became 90% less useful for me without decent closeup capabilities.)
I have been using my convenience key on my 9650 for Navigation. I like it b/c when i click it, it opens the Navi app, but if I hold it, it opens the navi app and then lets me speak where I want to go, what I want to search for, or brings up saved locations. I will definitely be setting it up like this for the 9930 when I get it.
I left it at camera. I don't want to have it launch some random app everytime I want to use the side button to take a picture.
Not really an issue. For me to get to camera, rather than [conv], I hit [conv]-c as I have "c" setup as a quicklaunch shortcut to the cam (leaving the conv key set to quicklaunch).
If you set conv key to ShortcutMe, you can by double clicking the conv key run your macro shortcut that takes 3 pictures (so you can later on pick the good one).
