Using the Phone application
126 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
Your handheld is equipped with an integrated speaker and microphone and
operates as a touch-tone phone does. You can use the automated functions that
are available to touch-tone phones on your handheld. The optional headset can
also be used with the handheld’s Phone application. If you choose to use the
headset with your handheld, insert the headset connector into the headset jack at
the top of your handheld before you use the Phone application.
The Phone screen displays the phone number of your handheld.

gprs, or GPRS and one or more bars appear with the wireless coverage indicator.
