Email and PIN messages
You can send and receive email messages. Email messages that are 
sent from or received by your handheld are routed through an 
existing email account.
You can also send and receive PIN messages. A personal 
identification number (PIN) uniquely identifies each BlackBerry 
handheld on the network. If you know another persons handheld 
PIN, you can send a PIN message to that person. PIN messages are 
not routed through an existing email account.
Tip: To locate your handheld PIN, on the Home screen, click the Options 
icon. The Options screen appears. Click Status. The PIN field displays your 
PIN.
Opening messages
