  • Introduction

    • Using a BlackBerry is like carrying your entire work and social life in one hand. A great measure of convenience derives from the Address Book. It allows you to keep names, phone numbers, email and snail-mail addresses, along with photos, business or social affiliations, even birthdays. Even if you don't want to add a lot of information, phoning a number you often use is as simple as selecting it in the Address Book. Rather than flipping through a paper address book, or worse, calling directory assistance, you've got the number in the palm of your hand. It saves you time, and that is priceless.
    • Using the Address Book feature is simple:

  • Step 1: Adding Contacts to Address Book

    1. From the Main Menu, choose the Address Book icon.
    2. Click the button to the left of the trackwheel. A popup menu will appear.
