T-mobile Vision G2 tips and tricks

Hey ,

Figured i'd start a tips and tricks thread where everyone can post. Ill start off with a few things:

Double tap alt and it locks you into the number and secondary keys.

Same goes for the shift key (arrow pointing up). Double tap is caps lock.

Anybody else got some goodones?

Thanks so much for the tips this is my first slider phone and I really appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Hold the home key while running any program and it will pop up multi tasking. Hope it helps

When the keyboard is slid open but the phone locks you can use any key on the keyboard to unlock the phone.

How do you get a reboot? On the G1 it was a three key press. What do you do on the G2?

Hold down alt and long press most keys to get an on-screen menu with more symbol options.

example:
ALT + (long press) j = [, {, <
ALT + (long press) k = ], }, >

If you go to the Swype page at http://swypeinc.com/tips-tricks.html there are a lot of good tips for using Swype that are not in the tutorial.
I use Swype when I'm typing something quickly and don't want to open the keyboard. These tips help a lot.

Also, most people probably know this but... The little dots on the bottom of the screen that shows you which home screen you are on... You can touch them instead of swiping to the next screen. Also if you hold-touch the dots it brings up a small view of all your home screens and you can choose one to get to it quickly.
