Whether you're taking notes during a conference call, adding a few extra called-in items to a shopping list or quickly taking down a name and address on the fly, Blackberry provides you with an easy platform for taking notes while on a call.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Activate your Blackberry's speakerphone or use a headset while on the call. Keep in mind that if you record a note while on speakerphone, the caller will likely hear every keystroke and that the use of a headset, if available, is the preferred user and call method for note taking while talking.
Step2
Click your Blackberry's track wheel after the call has started and select "Notes" from the menu options.
Step3
Type your notes directly to the call log.
Step4
Save the notes for future viewing through your call log and attach them to the call phone number once the call is complete by selecting "Save" from the "Notes" menu options.
Step5
View your notes on Blackberry with Device Software 4.1 by selecting the call that your note is attached to within the call log, choosing "View History" from the menu and then "Edit Notes." To view your notes on Blackberry with Device Software 4.0 or earlier, select "Open" while in the call log and then "Edit Notes."

Tips & Warnings

  • Always have your Blackberry set to "Call Log" in the "Phone List View" field so that you can view your call logs. You can choose the "Call Log" phone option by changing the setting in the "General Options" menu. Depending on your device software, this option may also appear as "Call Logging" in the "Phone Options" menu.
