So, you're on the phone with your friend, and your friend says "so, I'm like, so, like, hungry right now, want to meet me for lunch at this cool new place?". And then you say, "Sure, just let me know where it is". And then your friend starts telling you: "Okay, so walk 5 blocks south from King and Younge, and turn right and go down the dark alley but..."
What happens when you don't have a pen and paper handy to write down the instructions?
No worries, if you have a blackberry, you shouldn't have a problem taking notes, even while you're talking on the phone with your friend (some conditions apply since you will have to type out the notes somehow).
Here's what you do: If you're not on a headset, tell your friend to wait because you'll have to push some buttons first before you can take notes.
First, hit the blackberry home button, causing a menu to pop up. Then, click on the Notes option.
Now in the blank space start typing the notes. You might have to put your friend on speaker as you type the information, but at least this way, you won't forget it.
Once the call is done, it should save the note along with the call details, which can be accessed form the same place as your email messages. Consequently you can easily find the note just by looking at your call list, so you should have no trouble figuring out which note was for which call.
That's it. Happy note-taking!

This is interesting, to see a blackberry being referenced. My grandchildren know it only as a fruit. It is interesting how trends change, and how mobile and cellular companies rise and fall with the tech. This new age of LPWA devices, powered by tech such as the CAT-M are also likely to change things all over again. Exciting times for sure.
