How to take screenshots of your BlackBerry screen

This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to take screenshots of your BlackBerry screens.

1. Start out by downloading Caputre It from http://www.thetechmogul.com/CaptureIt/CaptureIt.jad. It’s an over the air installation, so I’ve created a “shorter” URL to type out in your BlackBerry browser: http://is.gd/8fsD.
2. Install it as you would any other BlackBerry app.
3. Once installed, it will appear in your list of BlackBerry Applications. Don’t click it quite yet – otherwise you’ll be taking a screenshot of your Application list. The first thing to do is assign it a Convenience Key.

4. Instead, select Options from your Application list.

5. Select Screen/Keyboard from the list of Options

6. Scroll down a bit until you get to the Convenience Key section. I prefer to use the Voice Dialing Convenience Key to take screenshots, because I never use the Voice Dialing feature. You can of course select a different Convenience Key. Click on the key you want to change

7. Select Capture It from the list of applications

8. You should now have Capture It as the application assigned to your selected Convenience Key

9. Exit out of the Options, and when prompted, make sure to select Save.

10. Now each time you click your assigned Convenience Key, Capture It will take a screenshot of whatever is displayed on your BlackBerry screen.
