You can receive a delivery confirmation when you send a message to a BlackBerry device from either your device or Outlook.
When composing the message on the device or in Outlook, type < confirm > followed by the subject in the subject line of the message. After sending the message, you receive a message confirming delivery to the device.
Note: This does not apply to personal identification number (PIN) messages sent from the device.
the position of is unclear – before or after the subject?
Is it just me or does the screenshot show the opposite of what the text describes?

All-in-all, a useful tip. But can we request a read receipt in a similar fashion?
