Take a Screenshot with iPhone 3GS

We are all used to taking screen shots for various purposes on a PC or Mac. In case if you’ve something on your screen you want to share with someone quickly, this is a handy feature. There are many other reasons why we would like to take a screen shot, to create a documentation or user manual for example.

As I am getting used to different features of my newly bought iPhone I discovered it also has the option to take screen shot. The process is very simple. Press the Sleep/Wake button (on top) with the Home button (at the bottom) together and your screen shot will be saved in the Camera Roll section of Photos application.

I believe iPhone 3GS has lot more features and I will keep posting them as I explore.

Import contacts from Blackberry to iPhone 3GS

If you are switching from Blackberry to iPhone 3GS, you must be trying to import all your Blackberry contacts to iPhone 3GS. When I switched to other phones before I always copied all my contacts to SIM and import them to the new phone. Most of the time the format would be different for the phones so you will end up editing the contacts. But with Blackberry to iPhone 3GS the process was really simple and clean.

I downloaded Blackberry Desktop Manager on my Mac Book Pro. After installing the BDM I had to reboot my Mac. After Mac restarted I plugged in my Blackberry on USB and started BDM (Blackberry Desktop Manager). Synced the contact with my Mac Address Book. After it was done I plugged in my iPhone 3GS with Mac and synced it using iTunes.

In few minutes and with few easy steps I’ve all my contacts on iPhone 3GS from Blackberry. I didn’t try to do it on my PC but I believe the process will be close to Mac, if not similar.

Enjoy!
