Hello and good morning, heard someone this morning ranting on how the old blackberry device has become useless and un-smart. i laughed but didnt say a word. do you own a blackbery device and also think that the device has become useless, I'd this morning show you how to maximize the blackberry device run ning OS 6 and 7. some of this features are available on other platforms but some hardly know about it on blackberry or know but don't maximize it.
1. Blackberry
protect
Please, if you don’t have this application on your
Blackberry, please download and install instantly from here. Ask no questions
first. This is why your blackberries don’t get rotten and sour, believe it.
This application is so important that you’d wonder why you never had it all
this while. First, let us view the functions of this app.
a. Backups
Did i just say backup, I should say AUTOMATIC BACKUPS. This application on its first launch would ask
for data you’d like to backup and interval of backup you’d like to use. I set
mine to weekly. It might nit back up your gallery but it would back up the
following.
i. contacts
ii. Calendars
iii. Tasks
iv. Memos
v. browser bookmarks
vi. Test messages
vii. Password keeper database
viii. WIFI Network profiles
b. Security
There are various functions from Blackberry protect that can
help you contact your lost phone, track the lost phone, lock the phone and
protect your data. My favorite is that which lets you display your personal
information on the phone in case someone finds it. Ensure to enable or allow
the protect app to make your phone location viewable on the protect website
during the Blackberry protect setup.
c. device switch
The Blackberry protect software also allows you to easily
switch between devices. Imagine getting a new device, by logging in your
details, you can restore from backup. All your data just syncs in on the new
device.
Blackberry protect is available in the Blackberry official
store to Blackberry 6 and 7 devices.
As an added security, follow this simple instructions
1. Open the protect
app
2. Press the menu key and select options
3. Select the enable deletion protection check box
4. Press the menu key and select save.
The protect software requires an active subscription to
work. To use Protect Online, visit https://protect.blackberry.com/ or search for Blackberry Protect on the app store
2. Password Keeper
Passwords, PINS, usernames, passwords credit card and ATM
digits, CVC2 numbers, ATM card PINS. The list goes on. I have up to 24 social
network accounts, 4 bank accounts with ATM Card PINS, usernames and passwords. You’d
agree, there really is a lot to remember when it comes to securing personal
data. What if I told you that with your old Blackberry device, all you had to
do is remember one password and all other passwords are known. This is possible
with the help of your Blackberry password keeper. Available on Blackberry 6 and
7 devices.
You can save all sorts of information. Creatively fill the
fields in each entry. The application isn’t designed to take credit card
details but you could set the card digits as username, pin as password and the
website as the CVC2 and there you go. It isn’t all that perfect but you get
creative and you have all the fun and ease.
3. Wireless backup
Ever tried to keep something safe in a hard copy and it didn’t
just stay safe. With your Blackberry device, you can easily backup information
such as notes, saved passwords. All you need is your Blackberry protect
running, a Blackberry plan that can work with the app and voila. You can easily
backup your data online, manage them and retrieve them.
4. wikitude
Wouldn’t it be good to find people that were on BBM from the
comfort of your seat? Your BBM contact list can sometimes get boring and you’d
like to add up new contacts. Not everybody has a PIN and if you are as crazy as
me, you would have tried adding random pins. It is possible to add pins of
people around you to your BBM. You simply get the wikitude app and use the BBM
feature in the app. you can either view a list of use the camera interface to
look around and see the direction and distance that this people are from you. Get
wikitude from the blackberry official app store.
5. Office Productivity
Most of us like to combine business and pleasure. Some do
either strictly business or strictly pleasure. You can do this effectively and
efficiently on your Blackberry device using the Documents To Go app, available. With the ability to open and create
word, excel and PowerPoint files. You can also open PDF files, Notepad TXT
files and decompress ZIP and RAR files. Your Blackberry not only gives a phone
in your hands but also gives your office desk in your palms. get it here
6. Cheap data
Data plans have always been expensive, data caps are
annoying as well. The cost to bandwidth ratio only becomes amazing when you
consider some of the Blackberry plans. GLO in Nigeria for example gives you 3GB
(3072MB) for a #1000. Try that same bandwidth on an android or windows device
and you could be shelling out #3000 to #5000. If you are a heavy data user and
still want to use the handbrakes on cost, a Blackberry device would do you a favor
with a wide range of tarrifs to choose from.
7. Tethering
Tethering.... tethering is when you tether....*rolling eyes*
You’ve got data allowance on your Blackberry, you connect
and share said allowance with your PC, now, that is tethering. Simple right?
Problem is, not all service providers allow this to happen. The Hotspot feature
on some service providers require that you purchase an extra data plan for it
to work. Some service providers would allow you to freely share or
"tether" with the right settings. Picture your Blackberry device with
3GB BIS Data allowance as a modem *slowly grins*. Fascinating right?
Androids tether and have hotspots, yeah, the IPhone does it
as well, and doesn’t the windows phone do it.... blah blah blah... ya right. This
is way cheaper. *winks*
Now,do you still find the Old Blackberry device boring?. it still is very much juicy. drop your questions below and stay tuned.
