to completely shut down an application without having to use the menu, hold SHIFT button and press BACK button. this works great to make sure you close programs instead of just minimize them to where they are still running in the background.
That must be specific to the Pearl. SHIFT-BACK does nothing on the Curve.
Thanks for mentioning this, Pammy....I missed it. Nice technique!

All I'm looking for is to page up or page down in the browser while looking at a webpage....am I missing something here? All I see is how to jump all the way to the top or bottom of a page or scroll with the track bar. OperaMiniBrowser lets you page up with the E key and down with the X. It makes so much faster and its really the only reason I use that browser.
I have a rather lengthy conversation in bb messenger that I want/need to preserve. I have tried to copy/paste it but I can't seem to get it all highlighted to copy and paste to either memo or an email.
If I go to Menu and select "copy history" it only copies part, and leaves out what I really want.
How can I copy the entire portion of a bb messenger conversation, or just a particular part? I have looked here and on other forums but the solutions were not applicable.
For the Curve (I have 8330) if you turn off Dial From Home Screen, the following are keyboard shortcuts for applications:
Q - Unassigned
W - Unassigned
E - Unassigned
R - Alarm
T - Tasks
Y - Unassigned
U - Calculator
I - Unassigned
O - Options
P - Unassigned
A - Address Book
S - Search
D - MemoPad
F - Profiles
G - Unassigned
H - Help
J - Unassigned
K - Keypad Lock
L - Calendar
X - Windows Live Messenger
C - Appears to Be the Call from Address Book Screen incl. Use Once option
V - Saved Messages
B - Browser
N - Blackberry Messenger
M - Messages
0 and $ are unassigned.
There are 10 unassigned options (on my keypad at least)
If anyone knows how to manually assign to other applications ie. camera, please share if possible.

On my 8330 I use the space key to page down and shift+space to page up.

Not sure what you're looking for. Your Curve should be able to record videos right out of the box.
Awesome fixed a couple of my gripes like being able to reply by hitting "r" no more htting the trackball too many times and sending a blank sms and if a message doesn't go thru switching over to sent messages is way easier with the shortcut
