Blackberry Hints and Tips

Over the past week or so, I've seen several good posts on the Blackberry related blogs that I watch.

Here's a run down of some tips that you can use on your Blackberry. Most of these are geared toward the IT professional, but users might find use in them as well:

How to view your event log (from BBHub with link to IBBUG)
Shows keystrokes needed to view log of your Blackberry device for troubleshooting and info purposes.

How to change display type of signal strength indicator from number readout to bars and vice versa (from BBHub with with link to IBBUG)
Helpful if you want to see the current signal strength (in -db) of the network your Blackberry is connected to in numeric terms without going to Options and  Status.

Setting up Level 1 messaging (from Blackberry Cool)
Level 1 messaging is used to prioritize messages from certain people, such as your boss allowing you to set your Blackberry to do a different ring tone for these messages, among other things.

Here's one that some users might not know about. To hide icons from showing up on the main screen, highlight the icon in question, hold the Alt key, click the Trackwheel button and select Hide Application. I use this to hide the t-zones and E-Mail Setup icons as well as some others that don't get used, depending on the user.
