Quick Help

Getting started: Your smartphone

Find out about apps and indicators, and what the keys do on your BlackBerry® smartphone.

New in this release

This release includes a number of exciting new features and services, as well as some enhancements to existing features.

BlackBerry ID

A BlackBerry® ID gives you convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products and services. After you create a BlackBerry ID, you can use a single email address and password to log in to any BlackBerry product that supports BlackBerry ID. With BlackBerry ID, you can manage apps that you downloaded from the BlackBerry App World™ storefront and keep apps you downloaded when you switch smartphones. For more information, see About the BlackBerry ID, 8.

Voice enabled search

Looking for something? You can now use your voice to search for help, contacts, documents, pictures, videos, and more on your BlackBerry smartphone and on the Internet. For more information, see Search for an item using voice enabled search,

364.

Home screen customization

Customize the Home screen even more by hiding panels you don't use regularly, and hiding icons in specific panels or all panels. For more information, see Show or hide a Home screen panel, 17 and Show, hide, or find an application icon, 17.

Compass application

Easily determine your direction in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles or to true north. You can also use the compass with location-based applications (such as the Maps application) to find directions based on coordinates. For more information, see

Compass, 283.

NFC technology

NFC technology allows you to quickly exchange information between your smartphone and smart accessories, smart payment terminals, smart access points, and smart tags. When you tap the NFC smart tag reader of your smartphone against a smart tag, you can see information such as web addresses, coupons, graphics, media files, and event details. For more information, see NFC technology, 352.

Touch-free call answering

You don't need to use your hands to answer calls when you're using a Bluetooth® enabled headset or a regular headset! Now you can set your smartphone to answer calls automatically after 5 seconds. For more information, see Change how you answer

calls with a headset, 64.

Bluetooth enhancements

RIM Strictly Confidential

You can now send multiple pictures at once using Bluetooth technology. For details, see Send a media file, 154.

Conveniently send and receive a contact card (also called a vCard®) using Bluetooth technology, and save the received contact card into your smartphone's contact list. For more information, see Send and receive a contact card using Bluetooth

technology, 346.

Video enhancements

Record and play back video in HD (720 x 1280) format. For more information, see Change the video size and format, 177.

Picture enhancements

When you rotate JPEG and PNG pictures, the pictures are saved automatically in the rotated view.

Sort pictures from either newest to oldest, or oldest to newest. This lets you see a slide show in the order that pictures were taken.

You can now view pictures in a slide show using transitions such a sliding, zooming, and panning. For more information, see

Change your slide show options, 194.

About the BlackBerry ID

When you set up your BlackBerry smartphone, you might be required to create a BlackBerry ID. You can also create a BlackBerry ID from within an app that uses BlackBerry ID, or by visiting www.blackberry.com/blackberryid.

Some services and apps that support BlackBerry® ID require you to re-enter your login information after a certain amount of time has passed if you are not actively using the app. You might also be required to re-enter your BlackBerry ID login information if you change any of your BlackBerry ID information, if you delete all the data on your smartphone, or if you update your BlackBerry® Device Software on your smartphone.
