  • Introduction

    • For many of its users, MySpace serves as an online headquarters, and staying connected with the "home base" is increasingly important. With the MySpace sync function, BlackBerry users can send and receive MySpace mail, update status and mood, view and send bulletins and much more. If you'd like a primer on the syncing process, read on.

  • Step 1: Download the BlackBerry App

    • It's very easy to sync MySpace with your BlackBerry. You have two download options:
    1. From your BlackBerry smartphone, launch your web browser, go to www.blackberry.com/myspace and download the app.
    2. From your computer, go to the BlackBerry MySpace page, enter your BlackBerry e-mail address and a download link will be sent directly to your Smartphone.
    • Note: You will need your MySpace login e-mail address to match your BlackBerry e-mail address to send and receive messages on your Smartphone.

  • Step 2: Navigate the MySpace Interface

    • The MySpace home page on the BlackBerry is very user-friendly, with icons that will look familiar to a MySpace regular. The top bar has seven option icons, listed from left to right:
    1. Home
    2. My Mail: Opens the My Inbox window and displays a list of your received mail messages.
    3. Friend Updates: Displays a list of your friend updates. The items displayed on this screen reflect the preferences set in your MySpace account.
    4. My Friend Requests: Displays a list of your received friend requests
    5. My Comments: Displays a list of the comments that you have posted
    6. My Friends: Displays a list of your friends. You can sort and search for friends in the list

    1. On the BlackBerry, click the Profiles application, then click "Advanced."
    2. Click a notification.

    1. From the pictures menu, click on the picture that you want to upload.
    2. Display the menu, then click "Send to MySpace."
    3. Type a caption for the picture
    4. Change the "Album" field to "Create New."
    5. Type the new album information and set the "Viewable By" field. For example, you can allow access to the album to everyone, for your friends only or simply for yourself.
    6. Click "Upload" and you're all set!

  • Step 5: Access More Information

    • If you need more data or simply need help with the BlackBerry/MySpace sync, the help menu on the Smartphone will give you all the information you need. After you log into MySpace, display the menu and click "Help." This menu offers numerous tips, from how to switch to other MySpace accounts to checking for the latest version of MySpace for Blackberry.

  • Conclusion

It's highly recommended for MySpace users who want to catch up on all the latest while they're on the go. The download is quick and easy, and the help options cover any question you might have about the program. Have fun!
