And to truly make this one-touch dialing, you can make the contact you created a speed dial and assign it to a letter of your choice:
With the contact open, Menu Button > Scroll down to Add Speed Dial > Make your choice...

Ever wonder how to dial those cutesy telephone numbers with words or letters that are so prevelant? Those like 1-800-MATTRES OR 1-800-FLOWERS....

Dial the 1-800 as normal and then press and hold the ALT key and dial the letters. When you press the dial button (green phone) the BB will translate the letters to numbers for you....

Thanks for the tips...I just did most of them and freed up a lot of memory! Luckily I didn't have any issues like the "FFFFFF" guy. Yikes!

An issue that pops up often is when sending messages from GMail, they appear in the BB Inbox.

To try and settle this, create a filter for your gMail account on your carrier's BIS site:

Filter Name: Your choice
Apply Filter: "From" Field
Contains: youremailaddress @ gmail.com

Also make sure to select "Do Not Forward Messages To Device.

In case you don't recall the BIS site for your carrier, this link includes links to just about every US carrier's BIS sites.

While in BIS, also edit the setup to eliminate the Auto BCC option if present.

Any battery life tips for the Storm?

[stevetaz]

As I don't have a Storm to test, I can't give any specifics. The ones above should still apply, and you should post the question in the Storm Tips and Tricks thread...

Not sure how much the touch screen and the updated OS changes things...
