Kwik Keyboard

You can call up the on-screen keyboard by hitting the Menu button, but the faster way is to swipe your finger up the screen, starting at the bottom. When you're done with it, swipe your finger down starting at the top of the keyboard. It takes a little practice to do it perfectly.

Easy Umlauts

Creating accented letters is surprisingly easy in the Storm. Simply tap and hold your finger on the letter you want accented, but don't click it. After a few seconds, you'll get an on-screen menu of the different accents you could choose with that letter. Click the one you want. This even works for calling up foreign letters (such as the Icelandic letter thorn) or symbols like the trademark symbol.

Lock it Down

Entering numbers can be frustrating on the Strom, since there doesn't appear to be a number lock-but there is. Press down on the 123 button until a lock appears on that key. You'll stay in number mode until you press another keyboard mode key.

Clean Out your In-Box

In-box getting crowded? You can delete contiguous messages by tapping and holding the first one and then tapping the last one. This will highlight those and the messages in-between. Go to Menu and select the option to delete the messages.

Super Sender

Want to view all of the messages from a certain person? It's simple: tap and hold one of the message you have from that person. After a few seconds you'll get a message that the phone is searching and then it will present all of that person's notes in a row.
