[HKrish]

I am going to buy a blackberry mobile in this week. I found it is only the phone which has lots feature and good for business use. The internet browsing capability in this phone is also a most excellent thing. However I heard that there are some shortcut techniques to navigate all over the menus. Some phone will support this shortcut keys and well as combination. So I am asking you give some of those shortcut keys so that I can apply it in my everyday usage.

Are you using GMail? Do you obtain an email every time you launch one? Sign into your BIS and put a filter. In support of each email address that you make use of, situate a filter. Identify your filter by giving a name to it, and afterward inside the “Apply Filter When”: box, choose "From" field. Penetrate your email id inside the Contains: box. Afterward pick “Do Not Forward Messages To Handheld”. Select Save and you have for now generated a filter. You can also change the signature of the Email using your own mobile phone.

I know that there are some useful shortcut keys in everysmart phone but the blackberry is quite different. Here sometime you will get the option to turn on and off the shortcut keys. They wont work until you have disable or enable some option in your mobile. For example turning off the "Dial from Home screen" option. This will let you to directly go to the desired locations which are preliminary mentioned. In this mode you just need to enter one character and it will set off to the one particular location. The one thing I didn’t yet find in blackberry is Autotext feature while typing emails.
