BlackBerry ID

RIM Strictly Confidential

 

BlackBerry ID

About BlackBerry ID

A BlackBerry ID gives you convenient access to multiple BlackBerry products and services. After you create a BlackBerry ID, you can use your 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.

If you previously created a BlackBerry ID, you must use it when you set up your new tablet or smartphone (instead of creating a new BlackBerry ID). You can log in to both a tablet and a smartphone using the same BlackBerry ID.

What's the difference between a BlackBerry ID username and a screen name?

Your BlackBerry ID username is the email address that you use when you log into products or services that use BlackBerry ID. The BlackBerry ID screen name is the name that appears when you submit app reviews in the BlackBerry App World storefront.

About Messages

The unified inbox on your BlackBerry device gathers all the messages that you receive from your different accounts into one convenient location. Receive and respond to email, text messages, or BBM chats all in the same place. Read your Twitter or Facebook messages, or send messages to your LinkedIn connections. It's all possible with the unified inbox.

Here are the types of messages that you can send and receive in the unified inbox:

Email: You can add practically any existing email account to your device--both work and web-based email.

Text messages (SMS/MMS): If text messaging is a part of your wireless service plan, you can find all of your text messages in the unified inbox.

Social networking: Add a Facebook account to your device to receive notifications for messages, wall posts, likes, and comments and to send Facebook messages. Add a Twitter account to keep on top of your @mentions and to send direct messages. Add a LinkedIn account to stay in touch with important business connections.

BBM and instant messaging: After you add an instant messaging account to your device, you can access your chats through the unified inbox.
