The First 5 Things I do When I Get a New BlackBerry

In the spirit of a recent post by my colleague (“we all love playing working with new devices), and for those of you who recently obtained (or plan to obtain) a new BlackBerry® smartphone, here is a quick list of the first five things I do when I get a new device:

1. I check if the device runs the latest software and update it if it doesn’t. Most of the time my new devices come straight from the factory, and there’s always a newer version of software available. In your case, sometimes it may just be that while your brand-spanking new BlackBerry smartphone has been in transit, a newer version of the software became available before it could hit the shelves. Check out the post I recently wrote on how easy it is to update your device software, or simply visit www.blackberry.com/updates for an easy way to get your BlackBerry updated.
