- Signal strength indicator. Shows access to the data network, unless you are moving, indoors, or outside a major metropolitan area of the United States. Also shows access to the phone network, which drops to zero when call is placed.
- Volume buttons. Conveniently located except when phone is in use.
- Battery indicator. Reads 100% full unless the phone has been used, in which case it turns red and requires recharging.
- Voice activator. Placed in a position that will guarantee repeated accidental use. Never used on purpose.
- E-mail application that duplicates all of your Gmail messages.
- Browser application. Generally crashes immediately upon use. Occasionally loads 99% of page, then crashes.
- Other primary applications. Never used.
- Access to all applications. Use to access Blackberry store to search for apps. Abandon search when no suitable apps with better than 2-star user reviews are located.
- Button of mystery. Function unknown.
- Cancel button. Uses: (1) Press once to end call. (2) Punch hard to cancel crashed applications. (3) Frantically press repeatedly to cancel voice control [see #4] before anything weird happens.
- Scroll wheel. Occasionally fails to scroll up. Chance of complete eventual failure: 100%.
- Receive call button. Never used. 🙁
- Keyboard. Conveniently designed to press as many keys as possible simultaneously.
