BlackBerry: How to create new contacts

Let us look at how you can create new contacts within your Address Book. Let us scroll over the Address Book Menu by using your track wheel. Press the track wheel to access your address book. Here you will automatically be shown all the different contacts that exist within your address book. We now want to create a new contact. So press on the track wheel and scroll down or scroll up. In this case to new address. Press the track wheel again to create a new address. You will be taken to the blank form to do data entry on new contacts. So let us create a new contact by entering the information for the first name. Enter the second name or family name you can enter the e-mail address and some shortcut, for example if you need a space or if you want to enter the @, press the spacebar, it will give you an @ automatically. And if you press again you will have the dot and your e-mail address is already entered. You can enter the company, the job title. And now we get to the work section. So work, work 2, home, home 2, mobile, pagers, all of these fields are numeric fields, fax also. If you use these fields, you will enter numeric information. It is also important to enter the right information, for example if you have a mobile phone number, to enter it as a mobile versus a work number. It will be shown within your BlackBerry with an M in front of it or W for work. So let us enter the Work number and since your are in the numeric field you do not need to enter the ALT key or press the ALT key to generate the top layer of the symbol. So just enter the phone number by pressing the information there. If you need hyphen between the numbers, it is not necessary to enter them but for reading purposes it is easier so you can just press hyphen because all the different signs at the top of your keyboard are not activated for numeric information so we are now entering the phone number and once you are finished you can scroll down and enter additional information Work 2, Mobile, Pagers and so on and so on. You can also enter other information or PIN number or even the Work Address and you can enter the whole content of the address with the lines and this is similar to what you would find within the blank outlook, let us know their group wise blank form. You can enter the city the province, all the different information right after work address, you will be presented with home address. You can enter the home address of the person. Scroll down, you even have at the bottom specific fields that you can use which are basically webpage or user defined field. You can create up to four different user defined fields and you can even enter notes on these persons specifically. So this is the information that is possible to enter on this contact and this is basically similar to what you would do on your outlook. Once you are finished entering all the information, you can press the track wheel to save the information that you have entered for the specific contact. Press the track wheel and now, congratulations, you have created your new contact and this contact will also be synchronized with your desktop as soon as your BlackBerry connects and synchronize with it.
