And finally for tonight:

Event Log:
Hold down the ALT key and type LGLG. This brings up the Event Log. You can clear events (frees some memory) or view them or copy the contents to mail to someone if, for example you have a problem and Tech Support requests to see your Event Log.

To lock your keyboard:
-Press and release ALT and then ENTER
OR
-Press the Mute button (top of the device) while not on a call

To unlock your keyboard:
-Press and release * and then SEND (green Phone key)
Note that you will be prompted to press these in case you forget

To get to the Help Me screen:
Hold both the ALT key and the CAP key and the letter 'H'. This brings up the "Help Me!" screen that lists Platform, App Version, PIN, IMEI, ESN, Uptime, Signal Strength, Battery Level, File Free, and File Total.

One-letter shortcuts:
NOTE: The Dial From Home Screen option must be set to NO for these to work. Phone screen > Menu key > Options > General Options > Dial From Home Screen > Select NO

Address Book -A
Alarm -R
Browser -B
Calculator -U
Calendar -L
Compose a message -M then C
Help -H
Instant Message -I (if installed)
Memo Pad -D
Messages -M
Options -O
Phone -Green Phone key (hold to dial by name)
Profiles -F
Search -S
Tasks -T

These are what I have found helpful on my Sprint8830. I know that there are probably hundreds and I can only absorb so much in a short time.

I look forward to seeing what others are using and what they have discovered by trolling the Internet, other boards or even by trial and error.

Come on, what have you got????
