When I went there today, the second-most viewed item was a collection of "Favorite Shortcuts" tips.
There are tips for various keys and key combinations that allow for quick switching between apps, assigning a Speed Dial to a letter, applying bookmarks, as well as multiply or divide two numbers.
You probably already know some of these shortcuts. But could it be that you"don't know what you don't know?"
As one who is big on headsets for all my mobile devices, I was curious to see what was being offered. Curiously, there's only one headset - a lightweight $13.99 branded BlackBerry Headset with a miniature clip that keeps the cord in place.
If you've ever dangled headphone cords, you'll want such a clip.
Much more important, this Headset works with just about every BlackBerry on the market.

You might want to try out ClockLabs' brand new PocketMetro 2.1. It has a built-in mapping function and trip-time calculator for the subway system in each of these cities.
The coolest thing about PocketMetro: when you install it on your BlackBerry, its entire database for the city you purchase "lives" on your device. That way, you don't have to hope for a signal before you access the function. That in-device capability is especially welcome considering that acquiring a wireless signal can be somewhat problematic in the subway.
PocketMetro 2.1 is compatible with most BlackBerry models. It costs $19.99 per city, and is available via download right here.
I've been spending time at the BlackBerry Accessories store. It opened for business earlier this week.
Here, you can shop for BB accessories by device or by accessory type.
In the Batteries & Battery Accessories area, for example, you can find battery covers, battery doors, and well, duh - replacement batteries. Need a new battery? There's a $29.99 battery for the 7700, 7500, 7200, 6500 and 6200. What about a real robust battery for your 7510 or 6510? Costs 'cha $43.49. And, if you need mobile power for your 7100, that's a separate $29.99 product.
Tomorrow, we'll look at the selection in the Carrying Solutions section.
