Here’s just another tip out of the hat for you all. Some Berry users aren’t fond of scrolling through menus and selecting applications. Seriously I have a friend with an 8700g who has hidden all his home screen icons (in a Dimension theme) and uses strictly home screen shortcuts. Of course you don’t have to hide all your icons to use these, but they can be useful, especially if home screen dialing just isn’t your cup of tea.
(Note – you must disable home screen dialing first to use these)
- “F” – Profiles
- “N” – BBM
- “C” – Compose (typically email)
- “V” – Saved Messages
- “B” – Browser
- “M” – Message (Email unless you have them grouped then both)
- “L” – Calendar
- “K” – Keylock
- “D” – Memopad
- “S” – Search
- “A” – Address Book
- “W” – Wap Browser (unless you have Berry Weather then it’s that app)
- “T” – Tasks
- “U” – Calculator
- “O” – Options
- “P” – Phone
UPDATE: If you have OS 5.0, shortcut “F” will not work as it is now called Sounds not Profiles. There is no current shortcut for it. Thanks for the tip Scott!
