Given that it’s hard for us to figure out what people do or don’t know with BB shortcuts and tips, don’t be too harsh as we start out.
The following tip should work for 8000 series+ Blackberries.
Shortcut: Alt + Escape (side button)
Purpose: Use to toggle out of whatever program you are in and into another program. You should see a strip pop up that offers a selection of different programs that you can use. It’s the equivalent of Alt + Tab in Windows.

Slightly different on the Curve and Pearl where the sidebutton typically flicks to the Camera.
Here it is also the Alt+Esc key where the Esc key is next to the trackball
