Navigation shortcuts for your BlackBerry messages

by on January 18, 2008

So, now that you’ve learned how to use home screen shortcuts, we figured now is the time to teach you about one key navigating within the messages application. If you’ve ever scrolled to the bottom of your email looking for something only to spend five minutes scrolling back up when you’re done, this post will save you some time! So, when you’re in the “messages” application, using the following shortcuts will do the following things and probably save you a lot of time and scrolling…

Oldest message B
Newest message T
Previous day P
Next day N
Find delivery errors E
Oldest unread message U
Search S
Go to oldest message in thread J
Going to newest message in thread K
Compose C
Saved messages V
Scroll down by screen Alt + space
Scroll up by screen Caps + space

As an added note, the T and B buttons will also work in BlackBerry messenger providing your cursor isn’t in the spot where you would normally type your messages.

How can I navigate through email messages one-at-a-time???? My scroll-ball on my BB tour doesn’t work anymore so I cant scroll at all….but these shortcuts only allow my to move through emails by day, not by message. How can I navigate by message without a functioning scroll ball?????
