I finally got a Blackberry 8700g (T-Mobile) and I am pleased to see that a lot of the built-in shortcuts from the old RIM iPagers are still in force.

Here are some tips to using your blackberry effectively:

To select a bunch of emails, hold CAP while scrolling.
To find the oldest unread email, press U in the Messages window
To find the next day, press N in the Messages window
To find the previous day, press P in the Messages window
To reply to an email, just press R in the Messages window (no need to open).
To forward an email, just press F in the Messages window
To delete all emails from a given date and older, select the date then click the menu button to perform the deletion
To go to the top, press T in the Messages window
Likewise, to go to the bottom, press B in the Messages window
To delete a message, just press the DEL key in the Messages window

Capitalization is easy. Simply hold a key down and it automatically goes to caps (no need to use the shift key).

You already know how to scroll up and down but side to side is easy too – just hold the ALT key while scrolling.
