Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm

Looking for Someone?

Figure 4-7:
Your search
starts here.
Your BlackBerry Storm comes with BlackBerry Desktop Manager, a collection
of programs, one of which is Synchronize. Synchronize allows you to synchro-
nize the data between your device and the PC software. It also allows you to
set up and configure the behavior of the program, including how the fields in
the desktop version of Address Book map to Contacts fields in your
BlackBerry.
Check out Chapter 15, which details using the Synchronize feature of the
BlackBerry Desktop Manager application.
Somehow — usually through typing and shuttling data between devices —
you've created a nice long contacts list. Nice enough, we suppose — but useless
unless you can find the phone number of Rufus T. Firefly at the drop of a hat.
That's where the Find screen comes in. In fact, the first thing you see in
Contacts when you open it is the Find screen, as shown in Figure 4-7.
You can conveniently search through your contacts by following these steps:
1. In the Find field, enter the letters that start the name you're
searching for.
Your search criterion is the person's name. You can enter the last name,
first name, or both. The list is usually sorted by first name, last name. As
you type the letters, the list shrinks based on matches. Figure 4-8 illus-
trates how this works.
