Today we continue dropping some basic BlackBerry knowledge. Yesterday we discussed how to move icons on your desktop. Today, we’ll discover where to find your BlackBerry PIN.

The only way I could add these rare contacts was through their PIN number. I have no explanation, but I’ve seen a few complaints on message boards of a similar issue.
