    BlackBerry user status — BUS, for short — we’re here to help you get the most out of your BlackBerry Storm. Right off the bat, we can tell you that a BlackBerry Storm isn’t a fruit you find at the supermarket, nor is it related to nasty weather patterns. Rather, it’s an always-connected smart phone that has e-mail capabilities and a built-in Internet browser.

  • Page 22: About This Book

    If you find that some of these images are true about you, this might just be the book for you: ✓ You have a BlackBerry Storm and want to find out how to get the most from it.

  • Page 23: What's In This Book

    Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm Part II deals with the fact that your BlackBerry Storm is also a full-fledged PDA. We show you how to keep your contacts in Contacts as well as how to manage appointments and meetings in Calendar. You also find out how to use the Clock application to set an alarm, use as a timer, and set your device to Bedside mode.

    BlackBerry applications from your PC to your Storm. You also find out how to port data from your older devices — BlackBerry or not — to your new Storm. And we didn’t forget to cover important topics, such as data-syncing your appointments and contacts with desktop applica- tions such as Outlook.

    Your hunch is right. Your Storm can help you do more than you supposed. For example, your BlackBerry is a whiz at making phone calls, but it’s also a computer that can check your e-mail and surf the Web. We’re talking World Wide Web here, so the sky’s the limit.

  • Page 30: How It All Works: The Schematic Approach

    Part I: Meet and Greet Your BlackBerry Storm You can do all these things (and more) by using your BlackBerry Storm. Storm is also a full-fledged personal digital assistant (PDA). Out of the box, it provides you with the organizational tools you need to set up to-do lists, manage your appointments, take care of your address books, and more.

They wanted a camera and audio and full video playback. BlackBerry Storm has changed all that and has more features than you may expect.

    Chew on a BlackBerry Storm Reliability and quality were probably your main concerns when you decided on BlackBerry Storm. Will the product last? Will it perform like the manufac- turer says? Will I regret having bought this item six months down the road?

  • Page 40: Using The Surepress Touch Screen

    BlackBerry. If you tilt your BlackBerry sideways, the screen follows you. We use these terms to show you how to interact with your BlackBerry Storm: ✓ Tap by lightly touching. This action allows you to highlight a choice in a list or place the typing cursor in a particular place.

  • Page 41: Virtual Suretype Keyboard

    Whether you use your pinky or your index finger, how you type on your BlackBerry is up to you. However, most people find that typing with two thumbs is the most efficient way to type on a BlackBerry Storm. And like the SureType keyboard with its Custom Dictionary, the QWERTY keyboard helps you as you type so you can get the word out (literally) with less keystrokes.
  • Page 42 Multitap Besides using SureType, you can type in another mode while BlackBerry is upright: multitap. The best way to explain multitap is by example. Say you want to type an h character on the virtual SureType keyboard. You search out the h on your keyboard but notice the key reads GH.

    But no need to worry. The folks at Research In Motion incorporated a microSD (external memory card) slot into your BlackBerry Storm so you can add memory and store all the media files you want in your BlackBerry Storm. You can purchase a microSD card separately for a relatively low price these days.

  • Page 47: Chapter 3: Whipping Up A Storm Of Your Own

    In addition to customizing, you want to keep your BlackBerry in tip-top shape by watching out for things such as information security. Luckily for you, this chapter fills you in on all you need to know to keep your BlackBerry Storm a finely tuned (and yet quirkily personal) little smart phone.

  • Page 49: Typing With Ease Using Autotext

    You still have some personalizing to do. Typing with ease using AutoText Even the most devoted BlackBerry user has to admit that typing on a full keyboard is easier than thumb-typing on a BlackBerry. To even the score a bit, your BlackBerry Storm comes with an AutoText feature, which is a kind of shorthand.

    Maybe you get a lot of e-mail. You probably don’t want your BlackBerry sounding off 200 times a day. Set your BlackBerry Storm to notify you only if an e-mail is marked urgent, requiring your immediate attention.
  • Page 59 How do you lock your BlackBerry? Press the lock key, which is on the top left of your Storm. You can customize your Storm to use different alerts (such as ring tones or vibrations) for different events (e-mail, SMS, and so on) in different situa- tions (Normal profile, Loud profile, and so on).

    And that address book often isn’t even a very good one! Read this chapter to see how to trans- fer all that good contact info from an old phone into your new BlackBerry- based Contacts.

  • Page 65: Working With Contacts

    Calling someone was probably the first thing you wanted to do with your new BlackBerry Storm. But wait a second. You’ll have to type the phone number not just this time, but each time you want to call. What a hassle.
  • Page 66 Jane is added to the list, as shown in Figure 4-3. Here’s something slick to know when you’re entering phone information for a contact: BlackBerry Storm can also dial an extra number after the initial phone number. That extra number can be someone’s extension, a participant code on a conference number, or simply your voice mail PIN.
  • Page 67 Chapter 4: Remembering and Locating Your Acquaintances Figure 4-2: Create a new contact here. Figure 4-3: Contacts screen shows your contact. Keep in mind that changing the User field name for a particular contact changes it for all your contacts. Follow along to rename a User field: 1.

    2. Press the menu key and touch-press View Folder. 3. Touch-press Phone Call Logs. A phone log entry stays as long as you have free space in your BlackBerry Storm. When BlackBerry runs out of space (which could take years, depending on how you use it), it deletes read e-mails and phone logs, starting from the oldest.

  • Page 71: Viewing A Contact

    4. Enter the rest of the information you know. 5. Press the menu key and touch-press Save. This is just one more sign of BlackBerry’s ongoing attempt to make your life easier. Viewing a contact You just entered your friend’s name into your BlackBerry, but you have this nagging thought that you typed the wrong phone number.

    Deleting a contact It’s time to get rid of someone’s contact information in your contacts list. Maybe it’s a case of duplication or a bit of bad blood. Either way, BlackBerry Storm makes it easy to delete a contact:...

    Microsoft Outlook, IBM Lotus Notes, or Novell GroupWise. A word to the wise: You don’t want to maintain two address books. That’s a recipe for disaster. Luckily for you, RIM makes it easy to get your various address books — BlackBerry, desktop, laptop, whatever — in sync.

With it, you can send a quick message to someone who has a BlackBerry. See Chapter 8 for more details about PIN-to-PIN messaging.
  • Page 76 • Send as Attachment: Starts a new e-mail message attaching the contacts. See Chapter 7 for more information. • Forward to Messenger Contact: Allows you to add this contact to your contacts list in BlackBerry Messenger. This option appears only if BlackBerry Messenger is installed. You can attach a contact, a security certificate, or a file. Those three choices are in the menu displayed after you press the menu key.

  • Page 77: Organizing Your Contacts

    Creating a group A BlackBerry group in Contacts — as opposed to any other kind of group you can imagine — is just a simple category. In other words, when you create a group, you arrange your contacts into subsets without affecting the contact entries themselves.
  • Page 78 Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm Need some help visualizing how this works? Go ahead and create a group, fol- lowing these steps: 1. On the Home screen, touch-press the Contacts icon. Contacts opens. 2. Press the menu key and touch-press New Group. A screen similar to that in Figure 4-10 appears.

  • Page 79: Using The Filter Feature On Your Contacts

    Are you a left-brainer or a right-brainer? Yankees fan or Red Sox fan? Innie or outie? Dividing the world into categories is something everyone does (no divisions there), so it should come as no surprise that BlackBerry divides your contacts into distinct categories as well.
  • Page 80 Part II: Getting Organized and Online with Your Storm Why stop at two? BlackBerry makes it easy to create more categories. In this section, you first find out how to categorize a contact; then you see how to filter your contacts list. Finally, you find out how to create categories.

  • Page 81: Setting Preferences

    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.

In BlackBerry Land, a vCard is a contact in your contacts that you send to someone as an attachment to an e-mail. At the receiving end, the BlackBerry (being the smart device that it is) rec- ognizes the attachment and informs the BlackBerry owner that she has the option of saving it, making it available for her viewing pleasure in Contacts.
