off the Hook

 There are times when I want to include my detailed contact info at the bottom of an email and other times when I don't. In Notes, I can just turn the auto-signature off and use Tools / Insert Signature, but I probably send more than half my email from my Blackberry. So here is the tip:

If you type in sig and then hit the space bar on your blackberry, it will insert the text that you have stored into the Information field of the "Owner" page on your Blackberry (under Options from the main menu).

Got any other useful Blackberry tips? Please share in the comments.

Even with a satellite internet connection, 10 people on the same uplink gets congested. BUT, we all have Blackberries too, most of us on the Edge network. Sooooooo, I just connected my blackberry via USB cable, fired up Blackberry Desktop (which I don't use for any other purpose now that its all wireless), and created a dial-up network connection. BAM,  I'm on the web at 460 kpbs, which ain't bad.

Here's a link to setup the network connection:
