Blackberry Tips: Moving icons around
Today's Blackberry tip brought to you by the guys at FeedBurner: don't like the default order (or did the order change on you?) of the icons on your home screen? You can easily change where an icon lives (or hide it) by clicking on the 'ALT' key and then pushing the scroll wheel in. You should see options for 'Move Icon' and 'Hide Icon'. Selecting the 'Move Icon' option allows you to then click and drag the icon through the home screen until you find an appropriate home for your favorite icon. Selecting 'Hide Icon' will make the icon disappear. To show a hidden icon, click the 'ALT' button and then press in the scroll wheel and select 'Show All'.

I want my BB to change the time when I enter into a new time zone, as my cell phone does. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'd like to figure out the same thing. However, if you "manually" do it, all of your appointments on your calendar will be SCREWED UP. I work in NYC, but fly to San Fran for work all the time. It's confusing as hell on my blackberry because my appointments are all set up for SF time, but my time clock shows NYC time - anyone, help?

When travelling to different time zones...
Go to the options menu, then the date/time menu.
Change the "Time Zone" field. This will automatically change the time on your BB, but will keep your appointments etc from getting messed up.

When I change my time zone in Options/Date&Time, that's what changes my calendar appointments. It makes me crazy when I travel. I missed a flight last week because the blackberry changes the times in the calendar. Is there any way to STOP blackberry from altering the appointment times in the calendar when you switch time zones?
