I would add: Assign application switcher to a convenience key you like (i use the left side convenience key for app switcher) it’s more easy that way, than holding two different keys for that function of the phone

It is more simple, by the way I’m looking some tips how to transfer phone book from other phone such as nokia to blackberry phone book? Any one could help me on it instead of to re type all the number again ?
Thanks

try sending contacts via bluetooth. That’s how i got it when i passed from motorola Z6 to bb 8100, i had to send the contacts via bluetooth from the bb to the motorola, because I swapped phones. There are a large number of cellphones that have the option of sending contact list or address book via bluetooth. You should look into that for any results

but hey, i noticed in the BB Desktop Manager an option called Device Switch Wizard. There is an option to “Change from another device to a blackberry device”. Have a look into that, maybe you can do it that way easier. (I never tried it, but i guess it should work)
