Tips & Warnings
You don't need a media card to download a WordPad file to your BlackBerry phone, but having one can prevent you from taking up limited device memory. Just choose the BlackBerry media card as your destination folder when you are copying the WordPad file in Step 4.
Although downloading a WordPad file to your BlackBerry phone gives you access to it from your handset, you will not be able to edit it. If editing a document is important, consider converting the document to a Microsoft Word file. You can download it to your BlackBerry phone the same way, but you can then edit it using the WordtoGo application that comes with the latest BlackBerry operating system.
