Google sync instructions
To use Google Sync, click the Google Sync icon on the home screen of your BlackBerry. Alternatively you can open the calendar application on your BlackBerry and click the thumb wheel once to pop up the menu. You'll find the Google Sync entry at the top of the menu. Make sure to enter your full email address as the Google Account username.
If you would like to use the native email client on your Blackberry (this is the one you have been using), you will need to configure it using Blackberry Internet Services (BIS) from your phone provider. This is usually done via an icon on your Blackberry's desktop that may be called 'E-mail Settings' (Verizon) or 'Personal E-mail Setup' (AT&T) or something similar. Note: If this is configured prior to the transition, you may receive duplicated email, so please wait until after November 6th if you plan to use the native client.
