Tip of the Day #1 – 3/6/09

Tip of the Day is a new section on our website that I will try to keep updated daily or at least 5 days a week.  The tips could be anything from a simple how to, to a tip on BlackBerry use, or even a more advanced how to.  Basically, it could be anything I say is a tip, however I will try and focus more on the beginner side of things and shortcuts useful stuff like that.

The Tip of the Day will go up as a normal post, there will be a link at the top of the page (coming soon), and a link on the side. Make sure you check it everyday because there could be a cool interesting tip that you didn’t know about.

So, Tip of the Day #1 is for all you new BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Bold users.  Sorry all the rest of you, I’ll get something good for you soon .

Tip: How to switch your profile to vibrate with one button shortcut – press and hold Q to quickly change your profile to Vibrate.  Press and hold it again and it will go back to the profile you previous had set.  You can do this on the home screen, the home menu, and your message list.  (this shortcut will not work on 3rd party apps or anywhere you can type.)

I know this is hardly a worthy tip, but it is sooo useful.  It saves the hassle of always going into your profiles and scrolling up and down through the different profiles.  When I go into meetings or class, just hit Q and boom done.  When I’m finished, Q and I’m back to normal.

More tips to come!
