About BlackBerry Bridge

If you're running BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or later on your BlackBerry smartphone, you can connect your BlackBerry®
PlayBook™ tablet to your smartphone to access email, calendars, BlackBerry® Messenger, files, and other data directly from
your tablet. Files and data must be stored on a media card to access them from your tablet.
Your tablet connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth® technology. To connect, you need the BlackBerry® Bridge™ app
installed on your smartphone. You can download it from the BlackBerry App World™ storefront.
When your tablet and smartphone are connected, these icons appear on your tablet home screen:

BlackBerry Messenger
Communicate virtually instantly with other BlackBerry users. It's everything you love about BBM™,
on your tablet.
Messages
Take advantage of the reading pane and larger screen on your tablet to work through your message
inbox more quickly. Attach files from your tablet or smartphone.
Calendar
Keep on top of your schedule at a glance with Day and Month views or a convenient split-screen
view.
Contacts
Connect with the people in your network through the Contacts app. Quickly jump to a contact to
send an email, schedule a meeting, or start a BBM conversation.
Tasks
Have a growing to-do list? Use the Tasks app to help you stay focused on important actions.

Instead of jotting notes on scraps of paper that can be easily misplaced, use memos to keep your
information organized and easy to find.
Bridge Files
Browse and open files stored on your smartphone media card.
