So we all know the BlackBerry 5.0 operating system can multi-task which means it can run mutilple applications at the same time. While this is an advantage of running multiple applications; the ease of switching betwen two or more applications is rather tricky. The BlackBerry device has the option to press the button with the BlackBerry log and choose "Switch Application" and choose an open application to switch to. Lot of button clicks if you ask me.
I have found a way to make this a lot easier.
- Click options
- Screen/Keyboard
- Scroll down to "Left Side Convenience Key Opens:" or right side if you prefer instead of the default of camera.
- Select the "Application Switcher" option.
- Save your changes.
Now all you have to do when using one application is to press one of the side keys and it will bring up all the applications that are running and you can select which one to switch to.
Enjoy,
