Kind of a newbie here and wanted to know what you do with your Blackberry when flying? Do you turn it completely off like with regular cell phones? If so, how? I have had a couple weeks know and not sure how to turn it off for a flight and want to ensure I do it correctly so I don't lose data or applications
To turn it off, you hold down the red hang up key, it will tell you its going to turn off.. you dont lose anything. To turn back on, press the same button
Thanks and if I do either one I just turn back on after or turn back on connections? lol, my biggest fear is that I will turn back on and all my apps will be lost!
In response to Oakie, your statement is not entirely true. I'm an airline pilot, and if I had a dime for every cell phone conversation I've heard over the radio, I'd be a rich man. The electronics are supposed to be shielded, but interference occasionally slips through. Is the plane going to fall out of the sky because you leave your phone on? No, but it is definitely anoying.
