Geek Tip: Taking Notes on Your BlackBerry During a Phone Call

October 22, 2007

Whenever I'm on the phone and I need to write-down a message, I can never seem to find a pen and pad handy. I know how to take notes on my BlackBerry when I'm not on the phone, but I didn't know you could actually record notes during a phone conversation. Well there's actually an easy way to do this without hanging up on the person (that is if you have a BlackBerry). Here's how:

While you are on the phone, click the trackwheel.
Navigate to the notes icon.
Open notes and start typing your text.
What's great is that the notes will stay attached to the phone number in the log.
You can also attach them and forward them to a friend.

you can do that on any phone. well at least my razr and slvr (probably any motorola phone). 1. while im on a call, i hit speaker so i can still talk to the person. 2. then the middle menu button and go to messages (or whatever else you want to do) 3. then type your message and save it as a draft or save a number to your phone (i do that a lot when people give me a number over the phone) or take a picture or anything none of that will disrupt your phone call and the person will never know, other than that you're on speaker.
