Figure 1-1: Your e-mail travels to your BlackBerry via service providers.
Connecting to your
personal computer
Nowadays, a personal computer is a household necessity. We
spend so much time on them, and so much information is stored
in them. It should come as no surprise that BlackBerry works
hand-in-hand with your PC. The USB cable that comes with your
BlackBerry does more than just charge your device. All the chap-
ters in Part IV are dedicated to guiding you in making use of this
important connection with the help of the BlackBerry Desktop
Manager and all the utilities that come with it. You find discussions
in Chapter 13 on how to sync your device with the Personal Infor-
mation Manager data that you keep in your PC. Chapter 14 guides
you on how to back up almost anything in your BlackBerry, down
to your desktop. Lastly, Chapter 15 shows you how to use the Pearl
and its microSD slot as storage that goes where you go.
Doing the BlackBerry
world-traveler thing

that your BlackBerry Pearl will continue to work when you travel
