Inbox  
Alt S = displays SMS messages only  
Alt O = displays outgoing message only  
Alt I = displays incoming messages only  
Alt U = displays unread messages only  
T = Top  
B = Bottom  
Spacebar = Scroll by page

when viewing / listening to media  
N = Next  
P = Previous  
S = Stop

That’s all I use pretty much, what else you got?

If you have a full keyboard, turn off ‘dial from home’ and the shortcuts are nuts. I used to miss the second convenience key my Pearl had but not anymore. I use the one on my 8800 for GPS.

a - address book  
b - browser  
c - compose email  
d - notepad  
f - profile(vibrate/silent/etc.)  
i - instant messenger(AIM for me)  
l - calender  
m - messages  
n - bb messenger  
o - options  
r - alarm  
u - calculator  
v - email

In the browser:

g - go(enter address)  
h - home(google is my homepage, very convenient)  
i - history  
l - link address  
n - forward one page  
o - options  
p - page address  
r - refresh  
u - header bar(dunno where they got u from)

There’s more but those are the ones I use on a daily basis.
