I've compiled a list of shortcuts I've come across. Some by accident, others from searching the web. Feel free to reply and add any you may have found or that I may have forgotten on my list.Inbox Functions:
T - Top of the page
B - Bottom of the page
Space - Page down
Alt + O - will show a list of all your sent messages.
Alt + I - will show a list of all your received messages.
Alt + S - will show a list of all your SMS text messages.
Alt + P - will show a list of all your phone logs.
Alt + V - will show a list of all your voice mail logs.
New Message:
Hold down the letter key to Capitalize.
Press the space twice to enter a period.
Alt + left shift key - turn on Number Lock
L + D - will insert the current date
L + T - will insert the current time
Phone functions:
ALT - Holding in this key will allow you to dial letters in a phone number. (i.e. 1800-ibm4you).
Menu key - You can multitask while on the phone by hitting the BlackBerry menu key during a call and selecting Home Screen. You’ll then have access to email, your address book, etc. However, most Blackberry's don’t allow for simultaneous voice and data transfer, so internet access, sending/receiving email will be unavailable while on a call.
BlackBerry Browser:
Space - will enter a period (dot) in your web address
Shift + Space - will enter a back slash in web address
A - will add an item to bookmarks list
K - will bring up your bookmark list
R - refresh a web page
I - display a list of the last 20 pages visited
O - open browser options
End Call - will close you out of the browser.
P - This will allow for viewing and capturing of the web address for the page you are viewing.
Back to basics: starts and stops
If BlackBerry slows down, starts malfunctioning or freezing, always try removing the battery and SIM card, if the device has one, and waiting a few seconds before reinserting it. 95 percent of the issues BlackBerry users experience, are resolved by simply removing the battery.
