Make Your Life Easier: Shortcuts for your Blackberry

This weekend, while perusing around the web, I came across Cartronix’s blog, where I found a nice little PDF that details some of the short cuts on the Blackberry.

I’ve been a Blackberry user for nearly a year now and I can say that using these shortcuts have certainly made things easier for me. I am all for shortcuts and anything that can keep me from scrolling everywhere with my track ball. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Camera:

  • You can zoom in and out using your volume buttons
  • Rotate your picture by pressing L

Web Browsing:

  • Save a web page to a message list – Press S while browsing
  • Move to the top of a web page – Press T while browsing
  • Move to the bottom of a web page – Press B while browsing

Typing:

  • To copy: Press the Alt key and use your track ball
  • To paste: Press the Shift key and use your track ball
  • Capitalize letters by holding down the letter
