Ok after finding out that with holding the BB Key it takes you to the App switcher, What do you use your convenience key for?
Im just looking for some practical ideas...
well mine are tailored to my usage....with that in mind
i have the right one set to Media so that i can access my music, camera, and video camera all from there. albeit not as fast as just setting it to camera or video camera i think the time it takes from going to media to pictures to camera is negligible.
the left side i have set to Memo. easy access to notes, something that i use a lot and makes me more prone to use it. more written down = less forgotten = more left button clicks = more written down...oh dear i believe i've already said that.
i suggest finding what you use most often on your storm and then trying it out for a few days and if that doesn't work for you try something else. you'll eventually find your fit.
Don't really use convenience keys much. They need to make it so the speed dial list can be selected with a convenience key, then that is the one I would use. There has to be an easier way to quickly call/text your favorite contacts.. Add speed dial list as a conv key RIM!
I used to have the left button configured to the keyboard, then I learned that if you want to show the keyboard you just slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen. If you want to hide the keyboard, you just have to slide your finger down on the keyboard. Works like a charm and pretty cool IMO.
I figured that the Call Log is the most inconvinient thing to get to so I'd assign that to its own key.
right side is camera and left side is SMS text (I text like crazy, comes in handy)
Left side Messages
(I combined my email and sms into one folder. It's so nice not to have to look to see what kind of message it is when notified. Just hit the left button)
I must sound like an *****, but how do you customize the convenience keys? I always hit the one that does Voice Dialing on accident, and it makes me want to punch a baby.
