Now that BlackBerry 6 is officially available for more devices RIM is starting to be able to promote it more. They previously shared some tips on how to navigate the new features of the homescreen in BlackBerry 6 but now moved on to in app navigation. I am the first to admit that I don’t use many of the features in BlackBerry 6 like Action Menus and Universal Search but they are useful for some. Check out RIM’s list of quick tips below:
Tips for touchscreen BlackBerry smartphones:
- To Zoom In, double tap a block of text; the font size will increase, and the text will be intelligently wrapped in a column while maintaining the placement of a page’s key elements
- To view your open browser tabs, tap the New Tab icon in the top right hand corner of the screen
- To save a webpage to your home screen, go to the desired webpage, tap the Globe icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. Select Add To Home Screen from the menu that appears
- To launch a Pop-up Menu of popular actions, press and hold from anywhere on the screen
- View recent messages and updates from any of your contacts simply by opening their profile in Contacts
- BlackBerry smartphones support full multitasking, so you can run multiple apps at the same time. To move quickly between apps, press and hold the Menu key to activate the Application Switcher
Tips for non-touchscreen BlackBerry smartphones:
- To Zoom In, hold the alt key while scrolling upward on the trackpad
- To view your open browser tabs, select the Tab icon in the top right hand corner of the screen
- To save a webpage to your home screen, go to the desired webpage, select the Globe icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. Select Add To Home Screen from the menu that appears
