All Rights Reserved. Published in XXXXXX. PRINTSPEC-004. MAT-12086-001 1 2 Welcome to BlackBerry! Whether you plan to use your BlackBerry® device for business or personal productivity, you have made an excellent choice! With powerful messaging, voice, web, and organizer features, BlackBerry is the all-in-one solution that is designed to keep you connected to the people, data, and resources that you need every day. To begin using your BlackBerry device, you must set up and turn on the device, connect to the wireless network, and set up for email. You can also choose to install the BlackBerry Desktop Software so that you can connect your device to a computer for data synchronization and charging. Take a moment to read this guide and any documents provided by your wireless service provider. These resources provide important setup information and are designed to help you get the most from your BlackBerry device. About SureType Your BlackBerry device is equipped with SureTypeTM innovative keyboard technology, which integrates a traditional phone keypad and a familiar keyboard layout with intuitive software. It "learns" as you type, recognizing word patterns and enabling you to type information easily. When you type, the letters on screen change automatically--by the time you've finished typing a word, SureType has probably already figured out the word you want to type. It's that smart! This evolutionary technology enables you to easily, quickly, and accurately type words without having to get used to an unfamiliar keyboard layout. See "Type using SureType" on page 15 for more information about typing. 3 4 Setting up your device Insert the SIM card Your SIM card contains important information about your wireless service.
