New in this release
Introducing BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1
This software update introduces great new features to help you be more productive, and more in control. Discover more
ways to prioritize your communications, read web content offline, customize menus, download Android apps, and monitor
the battery power level so you can be more productive for longer.
BlackBerry Hub
The BlackBerry Hub now features customizable notifications, the ability to filter the message list using a pinch gesture, and
the ability to compose messages in plain text or rich text.
For more information, see BlackBerry Hub and Sounds, notifications, and ring tones.
BlackBerry Keyboard
A floating action bar above the keyboard helps you easily complete or cancel common actions. If you often need to type in
more than one language, the keyboard allows you to switch languages quickly by using the comma (,) key. You can turn on
or turn off this feature on the Language and Input settings screen.
For more information, see Keyboard and typing.
Music
An FM Radio in the Music app lets you listen to radio stations on your BlackBerry device. You can scan for stations, mark
stations as favorites, and listen to the radio using a wired headset or the speakerphone.
For more information, see Music.

Calendar
You can view a specific date in the calendar by tapping the top of the screen and selecting a date. You can use existing
calendar information to create follow-up meetings, and with the Cisco WebEx Meetings app installed, you can schedule
WebEx meetings.
For more information, see Calendar.
Contacts
When you save a contact, you can select the account that you want to save it to, and you can move contacts between
accounts. You can create groups within your contacts so that you can easily send messages to everyone in the group, set
up meetings, and share files. For each of your contacts, you can set unique notifications for phone calls and different types
of messages, including BBM, email, text, and other social feeds.
For more information, see Contacts and Sounds, notifications, and ring tones.
Phone
You can answer a call on your device by touching and holding the circle at the bottom of the screen and sliding your finger
to the left. Slide your finger to the right to decline a call.
For more information, see Phone.
BlackBerry Browser
Save a webpage to your device so that you can read it at a later time, whether you are connected to a network or not. You
can also go to your favorite Android app website and download apps to your device. If you use BlackBerry Balance, apps
are downloaded to your personal space and can’t access the data in your work space. Download apps that you trust. Your
device doesn’t check the integrity of the APK files that you download.
For more information, see Browser and see Getting to know your device.
Settings
You can set up your device to use a picture password instead of a traditional password. You can specify which options
appear in the Quick Settings menu that appears when you swipe down from the top of the home screen. You can also

Introducing BlackBerry 10: Overview
Introducing the reinvented BlackBerry – an intelligent and intuitive experience that constantly adapts to your needs.
Designed around three main views – your messages, your minimized apps, and all apps – BlackBerry 10 OS allows you to
effortlessly flow between tasks and applications with quick and simple gestures.
BlackBerry Hub
The BlackBerry Hub gathers all of your messages and notifications into one convenient location. Receive and respond to
email, text messages, social networking messages, BBM chats, and instant messages. With a single gesture from any
screen, you can peek at your notifications, peek further into BlackBerry Hub to see your messages, or peek at your
upcoming meetings and events.
You can filter the types of messages that appear in the BlackBerry Hub, as well as show message attachments that you
receive. You can set prioritization rules for messages (for example, messages from people who are attending an upcoming
meeting with you) to show the most important messages and notifications in the BlackBerry Hub.
With Instant Preview notifications, you can view email, BBM messages, text messages, and more almost anywhere on your
device. You can also reply to your BBM and text messages without leaving your current app.
For more information, see BlackBerry Hub and Sounds, notifications, and ring tones.
BlackBerry Keyboard
Your BlackBerry device is designed to learn what you tend to say and where in a sentence you tend to say it. Your device
uses this information to try to predict what word you might type next and displays suggested words on the BlackBerry
Keyboard. Simply flick the word up onto the screen to type efficiently with just one hand. The tone for key presses on shift,
symbol, and delete keys are different so you can distinguish the keys from regular key presses. And you can even type in
two or more languages at once!
For more information, see Keyboard and typing and Language.
BBM Video with Screen Share
Have face-to-face video conversations with your BBM contacts over HSPA+, 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi networks. Start BBM Video
from the Phone or the Contacts app, or switch from a BBM chat to a BBM Video conversation, by simply tapping an icon.
You can even share your screen with your contact by tapping an icon, and show your photos or presentations while you
continue talking.
For more information, see BBM Video.

Camera
Your device has front and rear cameras for taking high resolution pictures and recording HD videos. You can open the
camera from the home screen, and take a picture or record a video by tapping anywhere on the screen. Time Shift mode
captures several milliseconds before and after your picture, so you can pinpoint the best frames to create the perfect shot.
And from the camera, you can peek at the last picture that you took to see if you captured what you wanted.
For more information, see Camera.
BlackBerry Story Maker
BlackBerry Story Maker allows you to combine your pictures, videos, and music into an HD movie that you can view later
and quickly share with others through an email, a text message, social networking accounts, and more. You can select a
song for background music, add intro titles and end credits, and apply themes. When you save a BlackBerry Story Maker
video and close the app the video continues to save in the background.
For more information, see BlackBerry Story Maker.
BlackBerry Remember
A combination of memos and tasks, the BlackBerry Remember app helps you organize your interests, ideas, and projects.
You can group related photos, lists, messages, emails, and links. Generate tasks from email messages and turn your
content into actions from anywhere on your device. You can assign a time and date to indicate when an item is due or when
you want to return to the item, and those items appear in the Calendar app and the BlackBerry Hub calendar notifications.
For more information, see Remember.
Contacts
The Contacts app contains details about the contact, the updates and company news from the contact’s social network,
and the events that you and the contact have in common. You can filter your contacts by using the account type (for
example, you can choose to view only BBM contacts). You can also create favorites and use photos from social networking
accounts to represent contacts.
For more information, see Contacts.
Calendar
The Calendar app is integrated with the BlackBerry Hub, the Contacts app, and other apps and accounts. Using the
account settings, you can add web calendars to the device by subscribing to ICS feeds. You can filter your calendar events

for each of your social networking accounts. From a reminder notification, you can send a message to the meeting
organizer or all attendees. At a glance, you can view the people you are meeting on a particular day. The Calendar even
suggests participants and locations, based on previous email and meetings.
For more information, see Calendar.
BlackBerry Browser
The new BlackBerry Browser is powerful, responsive, and super-fast. When you're browsing and you find something you
want to share, you can post it to a social network with just a few gestures. Viewing your browsing history is also just a few
quick taps away. You can view webpages in Reader mode to remove distracting clutter, and invert the colors to display
white text on a black background.
For more information, see Browser.
Share, stream, or display your media files
With just a few taps from within your apps, you can easily share your music, pictures, videos, documents, webpages, and
contacts with others over email, BBM, a Bluetooth connection, NFC, social networking accounts, and more. You can also
stream your media to supported DLNA Certified devices such as computers, TVs, or other home entertainment equipment,
or use an HDMI cable to display your media files on a TV or computer.
For more information, see Media sharing.
Picture editing
You can edit pictures directly on your device. Crop and rotate the picture, reduce red-eye, or apply a variety of
enhancements and artistic styles.

virtually hands-free. Use the Voice Control app to send messages, make calls, book meetings, search the Internet, post
tweets, and more. Open the Voice Control app by pressing and holding the mute button on the side of the device, or from
the keyboard by tapping and holding the microphone icon.
For more information, see Voice Control.
BlackBerry World
Discovering great apps is easier than ever with app recommendations based on similar purchases. You can choose an app,

storefront for apps, games, themes, music, and videos. Parental controls let you hide content that you don't want children
to access.
NFC and Smart Tags
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that's designed for transferring data quickly.
BlackBerry Tag uses NFC technology to exchange files (including pictures, music, contact info, and even webpages)
between your BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices simply by tapping the back of your devices together. You
can also use NFC on your device to pay for items, and to create and store Smart Tags containing URLs, phone numbers,
and more that you can share with others.
For more information, see NFC and Smart Tags.
BlackBerry Balance
Take your device to the office for access to work email, apps, and data without compromising the personal use of your
device. Your personal apps and information are kept separate and private from work data and apps. Easily switch between
