I found these very useful after getting my Curve the other day.

First of all, in order to use these, you must go into Phone Options and turn OFF dialing from home screen.

Key shortcuts:

A or C = phonebook
S = search
F = phone profiles
W or B = browser
H = help
K = locks the keys
L = calendar
V = messages
M = messages folder
R = alarm
T = tasks
U = calculator
I = applications
O = options
P = phone

Some new additions thanks to the contributions in this thread:

T - Top of page (in browser)
B - Bottom of page (in browser)
Space - Page down (in browser)
ALT + Right Shift + Del = hard reset
D - Memo pad
U - Switch between hide/unhide in title bar (in browser)
ALT + NMLL = numbers instead of bars for signal strength

Great info Brooke! Thanks!

[brooke03]

Thanks, I'm surprised it was not already a useful thread on here. I looked and decided to make one when I couldn't find anything. :/

a lot of people have been looking for a key shortcut to lock the keys...nice find.

i believe if you do the same on the pearl with the dialing from homescreen off that many of the shortcuts are the same...great find...worth a +

Is there a shortcut for when you are in the browser to go up and down. I know the "T" goes to the top and "B" goes to the bottom, but is there a shortcut that will move up and down the open page like it does on the pearl, gradually. I think on the Pearl it is 3 and 9. Just wondering and thanks.

Here's another guide for the Curve. Comprehensive guide to the 8300 Curve

Also not all the shortcuts work in every theme, just an fyi. I know the Vodaphone themes have different shortcuts.

You can also use 8 (which is X) to move down page by page and 2 (which is E) to move up page by page.

I've seen these floating around... thanks for posting again Brooke... always good to get a refresher course...

Yeeah they are buried in apost on this section somewhere, but better to have them readily available. I second that not all are available to every theme as the one that I really want to use is not available on my theme (the p key doesn't bring up my phone on the T-Mo Zen)

Also most of these are not available to the Pearl/8100 owners (at least they never were on mine or the wife's PEARLS).

Good post, thanks
