Find Specific Web Page Addresses and URLs in BlackBerry Browser

Experienced BlackBerry browser users are probably well aware of the fact that Web page addresses are not displayed at the top of their mobile screens like they are in desktop browsers. This is for good reason, as the tiny screens found on BlackBerry devices are too small to fit all the information that a full-sized Web browser can, and the BlackBerry browser is optimized to show only essential information.

However, it's sometimes necessary to access a website's URL or determine the URLs of a set of links on a page. Thanks to these shortcuts, finding a given Web page's address, or determining specific link addresses, is as simple as a single keyboard click.

While on a Web page, just click your BlackBerry's P key at any time to see that specific page's Web address and title. A dialogue box will then appear asking if you want to copy the address or send it via e-mail, SMS, MMS or PIN message.

To determine the URL of specific links on a Web page, simply scroll over the links so that they're highlighted, and click the L key. Again, you'll be prompted with the option to send the address or return to the page from which you came.
