Android apps usage tips

After using the gingerbread flavor of the android is on my phone for the past few months, I am embarrassed to admit that I as able to figure out a few things only recently.
firstly most applications have a facility to respond to the "search" hard button on the phone. for example the built-in "messaging " application. I thought it would be a cool idea to search among your message inbox for finding something . and Viola, it is already there. many other applications have also implemented the search functionality from the search key.
secondly the "menu " button for the built-in apps was also overlooked. it took me 4 months to figure out I could enable "delivery reports " for the messages that I send. lot of customizations were tucked away in the menu.
so my tip - check out the search and menu buttons on your android device for each apparently.
