It’s Monday and you’ve got a long week ahead of you. The economy is in shambles but it’s in hard times that one’s true character shows. So now it’s time to start pumping out emails like never before. To do this, Nan has written a simple guide to using BlackBerry Autotext.
One way I have found to triple the speed of my typing is by adding words to my autotext. Here is how to add words and shortcuts as well as a list that I currently am using. Do you have some good ones that I should know about? Please share in the comments!
To access autotext, go to Options (usually wrench icon) > Autotext > New
pls = please
ty = thank you
gm = good morning
gn = good night
xmas = Christmas
mp = my pleasure
yw = you’re welcome
sa = San Antonio
bb = BlackBerry
hb = happy birthday
Thanks Nan!

Have you painstakingly created Autotext entries, only to have them wiped after converting to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES)? Nan Palmero has been Tweeting a how to he’s come across which I’d like to help share with the community. Here is how you restore your Autotext entries:
1. Go to Settings/Options and select Enterprise Activation (or Advanced Options then Enterprise Activation).
2. Hold in the ALT key and type CNFG (multi-tap it on a 7100 device, so CNFFG).
3. Change Wireless Sync to “No” and save.
4. Restore the data.
5. Repeat step 2.
6. Change Wireless Sync to “Yes.”
7. Let it redo an Enterprise Activation (automatic – just back out to the home screen).
