Lol I actually did. Mainly with the holding the letter while moving the trackball. RIM really sneaks in things to make just about anything possible on these devices. Pretty creative.

Ryu, I cant get the accent to work. I hold the letter key that I want to put an accent on and the scroll the track ball, but it just changes the cap (lower case or upper case).

I think you may be taking too long to move the trackball after you press and hold the key...

so what is happening to you is the tip on the first bulletpoint.

PS, scroll the trackball going in right to left direction.

Another great tip to add to the mix. When in camera or video camera mode you can press the space button to change flash/light modes. One more cool little tip you can use in the same modes, you can press the enter button to snap pic/record. Hope you like the tips. Simple, yet great to know.
