Quick Blackberry Tips

1. Always close your programs using Menu => Exit. If you don't the open programs will eat up memory on your blackberry. It will slow your BB to a crawl if you have multiple programs installed, especially on the old 83xx series.
2. When in doubt, pull the battery. Sometimes your BB gets clogged like a toilet full of crap and the only way to fix it is to pull the battery out.
3. Alt + L + G + L +G. This will bring up the device log. Sometimes a large log will slow down your BB, so make sure you hit Menu => Clear log. I do this before I do a battery pull to insure freshness!
4. Alt + Rt. Caps + Del. Same thing as a Ctrl/Alt/Del. Will soft reboot your BB in case of freezes.
5. Sync it to your PC at least every couple months. That way if you break or lose it, you can do a recent restore.
