BlackBerry is going Private!

Canadian Mobile company BlackBerry is said to be going private.The board could take the step of making BlackBerry private in order to raise its sagging fortunes. Sources familiar to the matter told Reuters that the company and its CEO Thorsten Heins had been contemplating the idea of pulling itself from the stock market in order to be able to take some “breathing room” to itself while it tried to fix issues plaguing it. While no decisions have been made yet, the “change of tone” by the board could act as a call to private firms to raise some money to acquire the Canadian company.

5 Uses of BlackBerry Protect-Part 1

In this day and age, you care about your mobile like your own family member, and this is all for the blackberry boys(and girls).

Here are the uses of BlackBerry Protect a free app on BB World


1. Automatic Backups
 You can use BlackBerry Protect to automatically back up your data daily, weekly, or monthly. When you turn on the automatic backup feature, BlackBerry Protect backs up your data at the specified frequency when your BlackBerry smartphone is connected to the wireless network and you are not using it currently. If your smartphone is turned off or not connected to the wireless network when a scheduled backup is due, BlackBerry Protect backs up your data the next time that your smartphone is turned on and connected.

Note: Password Keeper and Wi-Fi® Network Profiles will be available for backup on BlackBerry® 7 smartphones only. If you use BlackBerry® 6 or earlier, please make a backup using BlackBerry Desktop Software to ensure Password Keeper and Wi-Fi Network profile information is backed up safely.

3. Find your BlackBerry smartphone Recently I couldn’t find my BlackBerry smartphone and thought I might have left it at a friend’s after leaving a party the night before. Thanks to BlackBerry Protect, I was saved a trip across town – I was able to log in to the BlackBerry Protect website and view my BlackBerry smartphone’s current location, which indicated it was in my house somewhere. Then, instead of spending time looking around my house, I used the “make my BlackBerry smartphone ring” feature which helped me find my BlackBerry smartphone (in between the cushions of my living room couch!).

As you can see, BlackBerry Protect is a great way to manage your BlackBerry smartphone and is something I recommend every BlackBerry smartphone user, not using a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express, install it. If your BlackBerry smartphone is using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express you will be unable to install BlackBerry Protect, or access it from the Setup Wizard included in BlackBerry 7. For more information, check out KB25065 –Unable to use BlackBerry Protect when the BlackBerry smartphone is active on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server which can be found in the BlackBerry Technical Solution Center.
I wanted to share one more thing as well for those of you using a BlackBerry 7 smartphone. You can prevent a person who finds your smartphone from deleting the BlackBerry Protect application by turning on deletion protection using the following steps.

Open BlackBerry Protect

Press the Menu key and select Options

Select the Enable Deletion Protection checkbox

Press the Menu key and select Save
