Re: Blackberry Tips & Tricks Part Deux

So I found some new little blackberry tips:

Page up & page down
If your on the web via your phone and you want to go to the bottom of that web page all you have to do is hit "B" and it jumps to the bottom of the web page. To go to the top simply hit "T" and your at the top. If you want to hop down a little at a time then just hit the "Space" key and it will hop you down the page. If you hit the "H" button you go back to your blackberrys home page.

To change your blackberrys home
click on your menu button (its the button on the left of your tracker ball with the 7 little dots. Scroll down till you see "options" click it and go to "Browser Configuration" on the next screen you will see "Home Page Address' simply change it to whatever you would like Smile

Here is a site that has lots of tips (different ones for the different blackberrys):
