pressing the menu key displays a list of applications installed on your
BlackBerry.
✓ Convenience keys: Your BlackBerry Storm has two convenience keys,
one on the left and one on the right. By default, the right convenience
key opens the Camera and the left convenience key opens the voice com-
mand application. Think of these two keys as shortcuts to the application
you need fast access to. You can program and change these keys to open
whatever is installed on your BlackBerry; see Chapter 3 for more info.
microSD slot
Your BlackBerry Storm comes with 1GB of internal memory. If you're a music
or video fan, however, you know that 1GB isn't enough to hold anything enter-
taining. But no need to worry. The folks at Research In Motion incorporated a
microSD (external memory card) slot into your BlackBerry Storm so you can
add memory and store all the media files you want in your BlackBerry Storm.
You can purchase a microSD card separately for a relatively low price these
days. At the time of this writing, a 4GB microSD card costs $20.
Switching applications
When you are moving around in an application (such as Browser), an option
called Switch Application appears when you press and hold the menu key for
2 seconds. Switch Application, which is similar to Alt+Tab in Windows, lets
you multitask between applications. The Switch Application pop-up menu
appears in Figure 2-4.
You can program the convenience key so you can get to your favorite appli-
cation, such as the Tasks application, even more quickly than by using the
Switch Application function.
