What is Blackberry?

A small handheld device that enables you to have your diary, email and all contacts in your address book with you when you leave the office.

The nice thing about Blackberry is that it is very easy to set up, easy to use and will work as an addition to Microsoft outlook.

This product is ideal for people who need to be contactable by email and do not want to carry a laptop pc.

E-mail
To receive all your emails automatically at your Blackberry, you simply arrange a forward from your existing e-mail system. There is no need for the blackberry user to press send/receive to request emails - they will just arrive instantaneously and automatically appear on the screen.

E-mails from the Blackberry will by default have their own address, but it is easy to set it up so that e-mails are sent with your main address e.g. person@company.com. This means that as well as keeping a consistent single address, all replies will still come in via your PC e-mail system.

Blackberry is also ideal for people who have more than 1 e-mail address as it can work with up to 10 addresses.

Synchronisation of your Diary and Contacts
You are supplied with a stand and cable to connect to your PC. Each time you plug in you can synchronise the data in your diary and address book.

Initial set up
This is very straightforward. You load the CD into your PC and follow the prompts, and the whole process takes around 10 minutes from start to finish.
