Wouldn’t it be very convenient to have your most useful applications always at hand?

The BlackBerry comes with a lot of smart enhancements that allow you to customize your BlackBerry and improve your productivity. The BlackBerry’s “Convenience key” can be used to access your most important applications with just one click. My BlackBerry Pearl comes with two convenience keys which I configured to meet my needs. You can find the quote of my BlackBerry’s user manual on how to configure those keys:

Your BlackBerry^® device has one Convenience key one on the left side and one on the right side. Depending on the configured theme, you might not be able to change the application that is assigned to a Convenience key.

In the device options, click Screen/Keyboard.

Set the Convenience Key Opens fields.

Press the Menu key.

Click Save.

The Pearl has its digital camera placed on the right key by default, but I don’t need it. So for me it is very important that I have two applications always accessible. Therefor, I assigned NextAction! to the right convenience key and MobileTracker to the left convenience key of my BlackBerry Pearl. The setup is very easy (like described above)
