Welcome to BlackBerry!
Whether you plan to use your BlackBerry® device
for business or personal productivity, you have
made an excellent choice! With powerful push-
messaging, voice, web, and organizer features,
BlackBerry is the all-in-one solution that is
designed to keep you connected to the people,
data, and resources that you need every day.
To begin using your BlackBerry device, you must
set up and turn on the device, connect to the
wireless network, and set up your supported email
account. You can also choose to install the
BlackBerry® Desktop Software so that you can
connect your device to your computer for data
synchronization and charging.
Take a moment to read this guide as well as any
documents provided by your service provider.
These resources provide important setup
information and are designed to help you get the
most from your BlackBerry device! Additional
resources are listed in the back of this guide.
About SureType
Your BlackBerry device is equipped with
SureType™ innovative keyboard technology, which
integrates a traditional phone keypad and a
familiar keyboard layout with intuitive software. It
“learns” as you type, recognizing word patterns and
enabling you to type information easily.
When you type, the letters on screen change
automatically- by the time you’ve finished typing a
word, SureType has probably already figured out
the word you want to type. It's that smart! This
evolutionary technology enables you to easily,
quickly, and accurately type words without having
to get used to an unfamiliar keyboard layout.
See "Type using SureType" on page 15 for more
information about typing.
