User Guide Tasks and memos

Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a back-up file on your computer, especially before you update any software. Maintaining a current back-up file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.

About categories

You can create categories to group your contacts, tasks and memos. You can also narrow the contacts, tasks and memos that appear based on categories.

Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a contact, task or memo. If you use IBM Lotus Notes, you can apply more than one category to a task on your BlackBerry smartphone, but only one category synchronises with the task in Lotus Notes.

Categories are shared between the contact list, the task list and the memo list and changes that you make in one application are made in all applications.
