Jamie Lendino from Smart Device Central has posted an article titled “Top 12 BlackBerry Tips” aimed at helping BlackBerry 8700 series device users be more productive and save time. As Jamie puts it, these BlackBerry 8700 shortcuts are an attempt to save you from the “futile exercise in thumb wheel fiddling” while trying to navigate your BlackBerry.
These tips were written specifically for the BlackBerry 8700 series, however, some of them translate to other model devices. If want to learn how to navigate your BlackBerry a bit more efficiently, especially if you are a BlackBerry 8700 series device owner, take a look after the jump…

Remember the back in the day when you got your first PDA before the BlackBerry took over? One of the coolest things that you could do was “beam” contact information from your device via infra-red to someone else’s device. I believe that I read an article once that said business cards would go the way of the dinosaur. Well, that hasn’t exactly happened, but, being able to beam your adders book to everyone you met at networking events was pretty fun.
As we know, you can’t exactly beam your info to someone since there is no infra-red on the BlackBerry. However, there is a little known feature that easily allows you to exchange contact info with other BlackBerry users.

After a year and a half of writing this here BlackBerry blog I convinced my wife that BlackBerries are cool enough devices for her to get one. She has read RIMarkable from time to time over the last 18 months but now that she has her own BlackBerry 7130e, she has pointed out something that this site lacks that in hindsight, I cannot believe that I have never done here.
My wife tells me that I should add a BlackBerry Tips and Tricks section for new BlackBerry users, such as herself, that want to figure out how to do things other than send and receive email.
With that, the BlackBerry Tips and Tricks section of RIMarkable is born. We will try to put a tip or two up per week that will hopefully help many learn something new about their BlackBerry that the didn’t know before. For those of you that want a ton of tips right now you should check out Stinsonddog’s BlackBerry Tips. I wrote about this site back at the beginning of the year and I still think that it is one of the best BlackBerry Tips and Tricks sites out there.
