For me, shortcut combination on PC is something I use a lot. Most smartphones don't have this feature to allow you get things done fast or type fast using abbreviated text. The blackberry is an exception to this because it contains huge amount of shortcut codes and combinations.
You can access safe mode etc.
Below is a small list of the shortcut combination for the Blackberry device.
SPECIAL CODES: To be done at the home screen
1. Hard reset without removing battery = press & hold 'alt+right aA' then press 'del
2. Displays phone properties and vital OS information = press & hold 'alt+left aA' then press 'del'
3. Displays log files = press & hold 'alt' then press lglg
SPECIAL CODES: To be done in a text editor
1. Displays device pin = mypin
2. Displays device time = lt
3. Displays device model & OS version = myver
4. Displays day, date & year = ld
5. Go to "Options", click on "Device", click on "Device and Status Information", type "test"
