If you're running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or later on your BlackBerry smartphone, you can connect your BlackBerry
PlayBook tablet to your smartphone to access your smartphone's email, calendars, BlackBerry Messenger, files, and other
data directly from your tablet. Once connected, you can also use your smartphone as a wireless remote control for your
tablet.
Your tablet connects to your smartphone using Bluetooth technology. To connect, you need BlackBerry Bridge installed on
your smartphone. You can download it from the BlackBerry App World storefront.
When your tablet and smartphone are connected, these icons appear in the BlackBerry Bridge folder on your tablet home
screen:

Text Messages
See your existing conversations at a glance and start new ones by tapping a smartphone

smartphone's inbox more quickly. Attach files from your tablet or smartphone, or save
attachments to your smartphone for later use. Open the File Manager app on your tablet to
access your saved files.
