I use QuickLaunch and I also have Dial From The Home Screen set to Off in the Phone Options to give a ton of keyboard shortcuts.
I don't know the difference in features between the 83XX version and 9700 version.
I still only use single-letter shortcuts and I don't use the multi-click (yet).
QL is set to my left Convenience Key.

On the 9700, this is 14 lines and fills the QL "bubble" without going to more than 1 page.
You might not have the same amount of room, but if you're a sane person you probably don't have the number of apps that I do!
I recommend starting slowly with just a few, then add more as you get your shortcuts & routines down. If I could only have one app, it would be this one, so enjoy!

Reason: Cleaning up long, messy post!
Oh by the way, if you have any specific questions about QL, make sure you do a Search here first. There are dozens (at least) of threads that cover various QL-related topics and there's a very good chance it's covered.

Right convenience key and space bar on main screen open QL.

And that changes with time as I find more ways to organize. One of the top two apps on my phone. Hard to live without.

OMG, I totally forgot about the Bluetooth Toggle being in there. I should have thought of it when I upgraded and added the GPS toggle. Fixed my original post.
Device Info: everything you need to know, including battery power, uptime, and media card space.
Messages: I usually just look at the main in box for all incoming (several email accounts, SMS, BBM). If I'm in another app and the light blinks, I just click the convenience key and M (my shortcut for Messages) (This doesn't work as well if you like to open the in boxes separately, because this will take you to the last one you were in.)
AppSwitcher_QL: I like this much better than the native app switcher. It lists all running apps in Menu style.
Radio On/Off: I have found this is extremely fast. I use it if I lose 1XEV.
Power Off: If you use this to turn it off, when you turn it on, the Radio is Off. Good for use on an airplane.
I don't use a shortcut (letter) for the last two, so I'm not likely to use them unintentionally.
