It’s the BlackBerry software that makes the BlackBerry such a delight to use. It’s just easy to get the job done. If you use a BlackBerry here are some little features that make it even nicer to use.
- Upper case? Hold down the key and it automatically switches to upper case.
- Full stop. Press the space bar twice.
- Typing a URL into the browser? Use the space bar for the dots.
- Typing an e-mail address? Use the space bar for the @ sign and for the dots.
- When browsing through your e-mail press B for bottom and T for top.
- Don’t forget that you have copy and paste available to move text. Highlight the text (Shift and roll across the text) and press the menu button. It automatically selects ‘Copy’ for you.
- Rearrange the screen icons so the ones you use most frequently are on the top row. Press the menu button and select move. Just move the icon and press the roller button to drop it.
- To switch between ring and vibrate press Q.
Use the speed-dial option to get single-key calling. In the list of recent calls highlight the person you want. Press the menu button and select Add Speed Dial. You can also do this from the contacts list – open the contact and highlight the phone number. Then press the menu button.
