BlackBerry Blend

BlackBerry Blend is designed to create a seamless connection between your BlackBerry smartphone and your Windows PC.

The software offers a secure and efficient way to stay connected to your BlackBerry device while working on your computer, making it an excellent choice for professionals and BlackBerry enthusiasts.

On any given day, you move between your computer, tablet, and smartphone to accomplish various tasks, but these devices are not integrated. This leads to lost productivity each time you switch from one device to the other. Until now.

BlackBerry Blend is a software you can download for your computer and tablet that seamlessly brings messaging and content that’s on your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer and tablet.

Highlights

Never miss that important BBM or text message
It brings all your BBM™ and text messages from your BlackBerry to the integrated messaging hub on your computer and tablet. Get instant notifications of new messages, and read, respond, and create messages on any device to be more productive. Forgot your BlackBerry smartphone at home? You can still get your BBM™ messages, emails, and text messages from your BlackBerry on your computer or tablet through the tool, even when you don’t have your phone with you.

Your BlackBerry smartphone as a mobile network hub
Because the power of BlackBerry is extended to your computer and tablet through the app, you have secure access to your work email, calendar, and important files on any device without a VPN. So much easier, so much faster.

Access all your files on any device connected to this app
Forget having to email files to yourself or using a USB stick to transfer important documents. Save files from your computer or tablet to the program so they are accessible on any device connected to the program – even when you don’t have your phone with you. Now you can have the same files on your BlackBerry smartphone, your computer, and your tablet when connected to the software.

Connect anywhere, anytime
The tool can connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi® or cellular connection, or wired through the USB port on your computer. Once connected, use your BlackBerry® ID on your computer and tablet to connect to the app and you are set to go. Do you fly often? Now you can craft emails while inflight in BlackBerryBlend. As soon as your BlackBerry smartphone picks up a cellular data connection upon landing, those messages will be automatically sent.

Unified calendar management is here
Never worry about being double-booked again with Black Berry Blend. It merges all of your work meetings, personal appointments, and events into one single calendar.

Access your corporate intranet
If your BlackBerry smartphone is connected to a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, you can access your company’s intranet through a work browser on your computer without having to be logged in to your company’s network. This gives you access to important work information when you need it, anytime, anywhere.
