Tons of Shortcuts on Your Blackberry Keypad

Most people, I think, leave their keypad settings as they come out of the box on their Berry. A few months ago I was introduced to an alternative option that I really like. If you turn off dialing from your home screen, it turns your keypad into a smorgasbord of shortcuts! To do this, go into your Phone options by Send Key>Menu Key>Options>General Options> and set "dial from home screen" to "no". The only downside (I am used to it now and it doesn't bother me) is that you now have to press the send key before you dial a number on the keypad, but here is a list of shortcuts you now have from your home screen:
r = alarm
t = tasks
u = calculator
o = options
p = call history (phone)
a = address book (contacts)
s = search
d = memo pad
f = profiles
g = Gtalk (Gmail chat if you use it)
h = help
k = lock (everyone seems to always be looking for a 1 touch lock shortcut)
l = calendar
c = contacts (address book, not sure why there are 2 options for this)
v = saved messages
b = browser
n = Blackberry Messenger
m = messages
All this is in addition to the 2 side convenience keys that can be set for whatever you want, so you have a lot of options for navigating to the most commonly used functions in a much quicker manner .
One last thing: if you download a small program called Qsms from here, you get a shortcut on "q" to compose a text message (except on the Pearl, where the shortcut key won't work). Enjoy!
