Blackberry question
|
|
|
| Just migrated to a Blackberry from a horrible windows mobile thingy. I've
got most things figured out but there are a couple of things I have not been
able to work out yet.
1. I have my work (exchange) emails set up in "messages" and personal email
setup in a separate folder/icon. However, the messages folder contains
everything - sent email (although I can hide this), missed calls, personal &
work email etc. I realise that I can view my exchange inbox folder but this
requires a couple of clicks. Is there any way to either set up the messages
folder to always go to the exchange inbox or alternatively to setup a
separate icon like personal email whihc just contains my exchange inbox
emails?
2. Is there an auto text complete function on the blackberry like there is
in windows mobile? There seems to be an auto correct feature but the cool
thing about typing an email in win mobile was that it would offer
suggestions for words after typing each letter e.g. you want to enter
appointment, but you just need to enter "app" and it would suggest it for
you.
Thanks.

No.

The Pearl does offer word choices. The ones with a full QWERTY keyboard
only seem to provide Auto Correct. This works quite well for me as I
have customised the list somewhat. I have an Auto Correct entry that
swaps "app" for "appointment" as soon as I press the space bar. If you
type Im it will correct it to I'm; il corrects to i'll etc.

Thanks for the response - just found another minor issue. With windows
mobile, when you get a reminder, you can choose the mength of snooze time -
5, 15 mins, 1 hr, 1 day. I seem to be able to change the default snooze
time, but is there anyway of choosing the snooze time on an ad hoc basis?
