Checking out your BlackBerry behind the scenes

Seeing what your BlackBerry can do

Managing memory

ecause you’re reading this book, you probably have a
BlackBerry Pearl (um, and we’re pretty sure that you’re not

eating it). We’re just curious, though — what convinced you to buy
this particular handheld mobile device? Was it the always-connected
e-mail? Or the 1.3 mega-pixel camera? Or the microSD slot capabil-
ity? Or was it the really good sales pitch? We know; the list could
go on and on — and we might never hit on the exact reason why
you got yours. For whatever reason you bought your BlackBerry
Pearl, congratulations; you made an intelligent choice.

The same smarts that made you buy your Pearl are clearly at it
again. This time, your native intelligence led you to pick up this
book, perhaps because your intuition is telling you that there’s
more to this whole BlackBerry than meets the eye.

Your hunch is right. Your BlackBerry can help you do more things
than you could ever think of. For example, your BlackBerry is a
whiz at making phone calls, but it’s also a computer that you can
use to check your e-mail as well as surf the Web. We’re talking
World Wide Web here, so the sky’s the limit. Help is always at your
fingertips rather than sitting on some desk at home or at the office.

fast, or news headlines, or stock quotes? Want to do some online
