Adding a category
Whoever thought the default categories — Business and Personal — were
enough for the complexities of the real world probably didn't know many
people. BlackBerry makes it easy to add categories, so you can divide your
world as much as you like:
1. On the Home screen, touch-press Contacts.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press Filter.
You get a view of the default categories (Business and Personal).
3. Press the menu key and touch-press New.
A pop-up screen asks you to name the category.
4. Type a name for your category in the Name field.
5. Touch-press Enter (bottom rightmost key on the virtual keyboard).
The category is automatically saved. The Filter screen lists all the cat-
egories, including the one you just created.
6. Press the escape key to get back to the Contacts main screen.

press Contacts from the Home screen, press the menu key, and touch-press
