Hi! I’m Jay Goldman and welcome back to the Blackberry tips and tricks series. Today, we’re going to look at using the address book in your Blackberry and we’ve got two different models here, a Blackberry 8800 and a Blackberry Storm.
The biggest difference between the two is that this is touch screen device and it has no keyboard whereas this uses the roller ball on a full QWERTY keyboard. The address book is basically the same on both so if you access your menu, you’ll find an address book icon. It looks like a little book when it’s closed and an open book with a card highlighted when it’s opened.
This Blackberry has only one entry in it which is me and on the Storm, the contacts` book has no entries in it. Adding a contact is as easy as opening the Blackberry menu, choosing new address and then filling in the information. So for example, if we want to enter Andy Walker, the general manager of Butterscotch, I could just type this information. I could even enter a picture, email, company, job title etcetera. There are lots of fields in here and if you’d like there are even some fields right at the bottom that you can use for whatever notes or use it to find values you’d like.
It’s basically the same process on the Storm so you just pick add contact and then you get pretty much the same view. Of course in this mode, you’ll get the Storm’s keyboard and if you want to use the full keyboard you can just rotate the device and get the landscape mode. Somebody might send you an email with a Vcard attachment on it which allows you to add an address that they have in their Blackberry or you might want to send the same to somebody else. So, if discard the changes on my new entry and I open the menu on that item, I can choose send as attachment and open an email with this Vcard attached to it to send to another Blackberry user. That’s the basic in using the address book. Thanks for watching! Stay tune for more!
