Configure A Bluetooth Headset To Blackberry

A Blackberry without Bluetooth is like a CEO without a Blackberry. Blackberry hand-helds have revolutionized the world of cell phones and offer numerous benefits to their legions of loyal followers. Besides providing the usual mobile phone and text-messaging capabilities, a Blackberry lets you check your email, type documents, take pictures, manage a calendar, and dozens of other applications. Bluetooth headsets add even more convenience, allowing you to control your Blackberry and make and receive calls wirelessly. Setting up your Blackberry to work with a Bluetooth headset only takes a few minutes.
