How to activate Blackberry Email Account-Blackberry User Story 1
Gist 101
I have decided to write down this procedure of activating Blackberry Email Account for my neighbour, Jose.
A 25years old Jose bought a new blackberry bold in a nearby plaza adjacent to my quarter. For 3month, Jose kept on trying to activate his blackberry e-mail account to enable him keep track with his new London girlfriend. After much trying he resorted to making phone calls and using facebook as substitutes. This had been always claiming his little income he had earned as salary.
One day, he came to me complaining and almost frustrated that he cannot access the e-mail message his girlfriend sent to him on his phone. Five several occasions, he had ran to cybercafe just to read mail and on one of occasion he attempted asking the young girl to stop sending him e-mail message.
This is the procedure of activating Blackberry Email Account I gave to Jose
