Quick Help
Getting started: Your smartphone
Find out about apps and indicators, and what the keys do on your BlackBerry® smartphone.
Your BlackBerry smartphone at a glance
New in BlackBerry 7
BlackBerry® 7 includes a number of exciting new features and services, as well as some enhancements to existing features.
BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry® ID is an email and password that you create that gives you convenient access to BlackBerry products and
services. After you create your BlackBerry ID, you can log in to any BlackBerry product that supports BlackBerry ID. For
example, 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, 7.
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,
280.
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, 18.

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 by using coordinates. For more information, see
Compass, 226.
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, 267.
Touch-free call answering
You don't need to use your hands to answer calls when you use a Bluetooth® enabled headset or a wired 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, 71.
Bluetooth enhancements
You can now send multiple pictures at once using Bluetooth technology. For more information, see Send a file, 115.
Conveniently send and receive a contact card (also known as 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, 260.
Video enhancements
Record and play back video in HD (720 x 1280) format. For more information, see Change the video size and format, 151.
Picture enhancements
When you rotate pictures in JPEG and PNG formats, the pictures are saved automatically in the rotated view.
Sort pictures from either newest to oldest, or oldest to newest, to 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, 158.
About the 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.
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.
