BlackBerrys have many convenient features that the general popuation doesn’t fully utilize, one of them being AutoText. AutoText can be found in the options screen on your BlackBerry. As you can see, it comes preloaded with a bunch of entries, mainly for spelling correction. For instance if you type ‘adn’ on your BlackBerry, AutoText will change it to ‘and’.

As far as custom entries go, you can enter as many as you want, and set them to be anything you desire. For example, I have the full catalog of hidden BBM Emoticons saved in AutoText as ‘#emoticons’. Any time anyone asks me for BBM symbols, I simply type #emoticons, hit the space bar and send away. Other than emoticons, I basically use AutoText for anything I’m sick of typing all the time. Why type the same phrase or twitter hashtag all the time, when you can just type a letter or two and let your BlackBerry do the legwork?
