find your pinIf there is one annoying thing about dealing with the BlackBerry is the number of times you’ll be asked for your PIN. Here’s a quick tip to help find a bunch of information about your BlackBerry at the click of a button. Well, three buttons actually.

Type ALT CAP H on your BlackBerry keyboard and a screen will show up showing you your PIN, your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), signal strength and battery levels, it will also give you some usage stats.

You can also see your Application Version. RIM often provides upgrades and you may wish to see where you are in regards to recent upgrades.

Start to compose an email, and type MYPIN and hit enter. Your Blackberry's PIN will display immediately.

Typing MYVER and hitting enter will show your the BB model and software version

I cannot seem to make these work on my 7130c. Any suggestions?

You have to press Hold ALT and type R A C E to get the Help Me! screen.

From an email, text or memo entry type:

mypin

Hit space or enter.

Your PIN will be echoed back to you. This is a built-in autotext entry for most current models of Berry.

This is very helpful if someone asks you for your pin, although you may need to edit the output to remove the prefix.

Best,
