I previously had a Curve now a Storm, and I work for VZW in a call center. I use VZ Navigator but know nothing about unlocking phones for other carriers. If you're looking for assistance, send me an email.

-try to get used to NOT lifting your finger off the screen when typing, just slide until the desired letter is highlighted then click
-since there's no menu option to empty your inboxes (SMS, MMS, eMail, etc.) touch (don't click) the message at the top of the screen with one finger, then touch the one at the bottom, this highlights these messages and all those in between, then click delete to erase all the ones highlighted
-to select a single letter in you entry field, hover your finger over the word, slide slowly until the cursor is behind the letter of your choice and click--now you may edit this word
-it always good to power off and remove your battery for a minute or so once a day to clear the RAM and all that useless data that's slowing your phone down
-if a website doesn't display or function completely, try going to options then browser configuration and turning your browser identification to Firefox or Internet Explorer and seeing which one works for that site
-and most importantly play around and find your own tricks that work for you, have fun

Another damn thing that came with my IPHONE that I am sure we will have to pay for with the fresking STORM.... BB Get with it.... Put this crap in the OS.

Stinsonddog,
I would LOVE to help with this!! I have all the time in the world on my hands!
However as a Linux User I have no way to help with anything involving Blackberry Desktop Software. As for the phone I am always looking for and finding new things with the OS.
Let me know.

I'll help out, been a BES admin and BB user since 2005, either personally used or directly supported every BB model from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon from the 7290 up to the 9530.

You can select the date above the messages and pick the BB button and choose delete prior. Deletes all messages older than the date selected.

I think they flaked because you never responded to anybody.At least as I see it.
Can I tell you the frequency of the tone that the key presses generate? NO
But I do know my BB Storms functions
my .02
Peace,
Parts
