Copy to Calendar (copytocal), a useful application for creating calendar entries quickly and simply on your BlackBerry Smartphone.
Why would I need this? (why wouldn't you? :) )
Say you receive emails frequently that you'd like to quickly add as a calendar entry on your BlackBerry Smartphone. There are quite a few keypresses required to create a New Appointment whilst reading an email - far too many to count ;). Copy to Calendar aims to simplify and speed this process up.
How does it work?

2. Copy to Calendar will intelligently analyse the content of the email message, including the subject field for dates and then present you with a list of dates to select from. From the Select Date screen you can select a date from the list which will be used to create the New Appointment with, you get a previous of the text before and after the date currently selected to help you select the correct date. You also have the ability to flip the Day/Month component of the date and quickly configure the New Appointment to be repeating. |

3. You will then be presented with the New Appointment screen, the subject text of the email will be automatically inserted to the Subject field of the New Appointment.
