Here are a couple of neat little Blackberry tips that might come in handy. I learnt these the hard way and thought I would pass them along.
Ever wondered how to dial a phone word on a Blackberry? By the way, a Phone Word is simply the alphanumeric translation of a phone number. For example, when you dial the phone word 1 888 8YOODLE, you are actually dialing the phone number 1 888 8966353It's simple.
You simply spell out the phone word on the screen using the 'SHIFT' key. When you hit the 'CALL' button, the BlackBerry automatically converts the phone word into the phone number and connects the call.
Ever wondered how to select a block of text for copying and pasting?
It’s simple. Hold the ‘SHIFT’ key and roll the trackwheel or the trackball (in the case of the Blackberry Curve). Voila. Now, you can copy entire blocks of text or select multiple email messages to delete them all at once.
p.s. The ‘SHIFT’ key is the left most key on the lowest last line of buttons.
