If you're running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or later on your BlackBerry smartphone, you can connect your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to your smartphone to access your smartphone's email, calendars, BlackBerry Messenger, files and other data directly from your tablet. Once connected, you can also use your smartphone as a wireless remote control for your tablet.

Your tablet connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth technology. To connect, you need BlackBerry Bridge installed on your smartphone. You can download it from the BlackBerry App World storefront.

When your tablet and smartphone are connected, these icons appear in the BlackBerry Bridge folder on your tablet home screen:

BBM

Messages

Calendar

Keep on top of your schedule at a glance with Day and Month views or a convenient split­ -screen view.
