I was lucky enough to meet one of the most prestigious bloggers in the industry when I was in Barcelona a few months ago, Matthew Miller has published a post on ZDNet where he does a good portion of his writing. It’s all about Nokias very new email program. I have been using it for a little while now and have come to really like it, though it was lacking a few things. Well Matthew wrote a very informative post that includes a bunch of shortcuts for Nokia Email which makes it significantly better then I had originally thought. It was good before (with a lot of potential) now it is great (still with room to grow). Below are the shortcuts but make sure to visit Matthews post and watch the video.

For all devices (QWERTY and non-QWERTY), there are a variety of number shortcuts:

• *: Move the focus to the Sort Order drop-down list in the control bar
• #: Mark or unmark the selected message
• Space Key: Mark or unmark the selected message
• 1: Open the message composer to reply to a sender
• 2: In the folder viewer: Moves the focus to the first message in the list. In the message viewer: Moves the focus to the top of the message.
• 3: Screen page up
• 4: In the folder viewer: Display the flag list query. In the message viewer: Open the message viewer and display the previous message in the list.
• 5: In the folder viewer: Toggle the read/unread status of the selected message if there are no marked messages, or toggle the read/unread status of marked messages if at least one
• message is marked. In the message viewer: Toggle the read/unread status of the open message within the viewer.
• 6: Open the message viewer and display the next message in the list
• 7: Open the message composer to reply to a sender and all other recipients.
• 8: In the folder viewer: Move the focus to the last message in the list. In the message viewer: Move the focus to the bottom of the message
• 9: Screen page down

For QWERTY devices like the E71, there are even more useful shortcuts:
