Phone Functions
1. Multitask while on phone calls by hitting the BlackBerry menu key during a call and then selecting Home Screen. You'll then have access to e-mail and other documents - though most BlackBerrys don't allow for simultaneous voice and data transfer, so Internet access is unavailable while on calls.
2. Find specific contacts from your BlackBerry home screen by pressing keys for first and last initials, with a space between them. If more than one contact has the same initials, scroll to the appropriate contact.
BlackBerry Browser
1. Bring up the Enter Web Address field from any Web page by pressing the G key.
