All BlackBerry Keyboard Shortcuts For Blackberry Classic and Bold 9900 [Video]

Still, on the Blackberry Classic trend, formerly known as Q20, Blackberry through a video, has shown some of the top keyboard shortcuts which can be performed on the device.

Earlier before now, some of these keyboard shortcut functionality has been available on earlier devices like the Blackberry bold 9900, 9930 (Known as Bold 5), and curve devices. One would have expected this functionality to be available on their advanced devices like the blackberry 10 phones which comprise the Q5, Q10, Z10, Z30, Z3, etc but unfortunately, there was not.

The Blackberry Classic (Q20) seems to be the outcome of most customers’ feedback or compliant. The earlier versions of bb10 devices missed the trackpad and function keys which the Classic Q20 has come to fix. The Qwerty keyboard shortcut function is another thing the classic has also come to fix. That truly shows that Blackberry is listening. I am hoping they improve in camera quality and other specifications soon.

If you’ve watched the video above, those are just the top 10 qwerty keyboard shortcuts.

Now, are these just the shortcuts on the classic device? NO! There are most. Interesting thing is, these shortcuts are also workable on blackberry bold and curve devices. You shouldn’t bother trying it on Q5 or Q10 devices because they won’t work.
