Top 10 Tips & Tricks For Ur New Storm

For those of you technology enthusiast that have the new touchscreen BlackBerry Storm, I have compiled some tips for you.  Feel free to comment more if you'd like. Enjoy!

1. In order to send an SMS/Email quickly after typing, simply click the menu button twice. Normally you would have to click menu, then send.

2. To lock the numbers while typing, you can hold the number key down for 2 seconds.

3. To  Zoom in and out on the BlackBerry Storm camera, simply swipe your finger up or down on the screen while in camera mode.

4. Just like previous BlackBerry's, to capitalize a letter you can hold it down for 2 seconds while typing.

5. To hide the keyboard swipe your finger down over top of it. To bring it back up, click on keyboard button or text box.

6. To sort emails by sender simply hold your finger over an email/SMS message from someone and it will sort them all from that contact.

7. Typing on the BlackBerry Storm can be different. However, I have found that if you are in full keyboard mode and you keep your left thumb for typing on the left side and your right thumb for typing on the right side you will  significantly decrease your typing errors. Also, don't watch what you are typing on the screen. Instead, watch the keyboard and your fingers. This will eliminate errors after a while.

8. For a quick menu, from the home screen, hold down the menu key for 2 seconds. You can access some of the commonly used applications from this menu.

9. The tip above is also helpful to find out if any background processes are running and sucking up your memory. Note: You cannot close the BlackBerry messenger, Phone, Application Center, Browser or Messages applications.  However, if any other applications are running you can close them.

10. To add a period at the end of a sentence quickly. Simply double click the space key at the end of your sentence.
