And…we’re back. This is the second part of a two part series, if you missed part 1, read this: 10 Neat BlackBerry Email Tricks – Part 1 of 3
Now on to part two:
#6 – When drafting an email, the space bar is your friend
Don’t you hate the redundant task of entering an the “@” symbol and the “.” when entering an email address.
Well, don’t do it, just use spacebar. That’s right, anytime you are entering an email, enter “email (spacebar) serviceprovider (spacebar) com ” and it will return email@serviceprovider.com . It’s that simple!
#5 – Speaking of entering emails…
Do you often email the same contact. Make sure to save that email address in your address book. This will allow for quick email address entry when you email that contact next time.
All you have to do is hover over your contact’s email address within the email, and from the BlackBerry menu select ” Add to Address Book“. Once they are added in your address book, you will be able to type the first letter or two of their email address and it will automatically pull up when you compose an email next time.
#4 – Scanning your emails has never been this quick.
Besides using the previously mentioned “B” and “T” shortcuts to scan your emails, press the “Space bar” to move down one screen and the “Shift + Space bar” to move up one screen.
Well that’s all I have for now, until Friday for part 3 my BlackBerry friends. Chao!

Have your tried the free application Vlingo? Once downloaded, you use one of your convenience to use this voice command application. You press one key, can speak a command to E-mail, text, etc. an individual and the application creates the correct media using your address book with the TO completed. You can the speak the remainder of your e-mail, text, etc. Granted you have to speak slow and distinctly and sometimes you have to manually correct a few words but you can do it all with one hand. When your e-mail is completed you can send.
Haven’t tried the app, heard of it though. Will download now to try this out.
Thanks.
