Any typing, not just emails. To get to the beginning or end of this line, I would scroll the trackwheel up, down, or left, right. Is there a way to just jump to the left or right of a line of text (not top or bottom).

ohhh...good question, i have been thinking about that one for awhile...always nice on the PC to hit home or end
it doesn't list a shortcut in the article? (i didn't read the whole thing )

If you try to access the article Hayden links to with the BB browser, you're redirected to a CIO.com home page and not to the shortcuts article. Opera Mini will get you there, as a number of folks noted, and you can access it using IE, Firefox or Safari on a desktop.

It is kind of amusing that you can't access a BlackBerry tips article using the BB browser.....

Maybe I am a true BB addict but I only read pinstack on my BB. One of the reasons I have one is to keep up with information away from the computer. Can someone post the article in a more BB friendly way. I don't have the opra browser.

One suggestion: Get Opera Mini. It's infinitely better than the BB browser.

Phone Functions
1) Multitask while on phone calls by hitting the BlackBerry menu key during a call and then selecting Home Screen. You'll then have access to e-mail and other documents--though most BlackBerrys don't allow for simultaneous voice and data transfer, so Internet access is unavailable while on calls.

Back to Basics: Starts and Stops
1) To put device into Standby Mode so keys cannot be pressed while it's not in use, hold down the Mute key for a second or two. Undo Standby Mode by holding Mute for another couple of seconds.
2) 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. Ninety-five percent of the issues Aflac BlackBerry users experience are resolved by simply removing the battery, according to Genet.

A lot of This stuff doesn't work for my 8100~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

[thbassman]

Some of it works for the pearl-I still use my tips and tricks sheet i got when I bought mine. (All the att stores get them with each new model that comes out!)

thanks hayden

The entire list won't work for every berry, but there is still alot of gems hidden in there.
For example inserting current time into email

( Insert the current time into a message or document by pressing the L key followed by the T key and Space key.)

Works on my curve and its really handy.

About the only tip Im questioning is the last one- if you have an issue pull battery AND SIM CARD??

Anyone ever had to pull their SIM card? And does this still apply to new Berry's like the Pearl and Curve?
