New in BlackBerry 7
BlackBerry 7 includes a number of exciting new features and services, as well as some enhancements to existing features.
BlackBerry ID
A BlackBerry ID is an email and password that gives you convenient access to BlackBerry products and services. After you 
create your 
BlackBerry ID, you can log in to any BlackBerry product that supports BlackBerry ID. For example, with 
BlackBerry ID you can manage apps that you downloaded from the BlackBerry App World storefront and keep apps you 
downloaded when you switch smartphones. For more information, see 
BlackBerry ID.
Voice enabled search
Looking for something? You can now use your voice to search for help, contacts, documents, pictures, videos, and more on 
your smartphone and on the Internet. For more information, see 
Search for an item using voice enabled search.
Home screen customization
Customize the home screen even more by hiding panels you don't use regularly, and hiding icons in specific panels or all 
panels. For more information, see 
Show or hide a home screen panel and Show, hide, or find an application icon.
Compass application
Easily determine your direction in relation to the Earth's magnetic poles or to true north. You can also use the compass with 
location-based applications (such as the Maps application) to find directions based on coordinates. For more information, 
see 
Compass.
Touch-free call answering
You don't need to use your hands to answer calls when you're using a Bluetooth enabled headset or a regular headset! 
Now you can set your smartphone to answer calls automatically after 5 seconds. For more information, see 
Change how 
you answer calls with a headset

							BlackBerry ID. With BlackBerry ID, you can manage apps that you downloaded from the BlackBerry App World storefront 
and keep apps you downloaded when you switch smartphones.
You are prompted to log in using your BlackBerry ID when you set up a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or a BlackBerry 
smartphone running BlackBerry 7. If you previously created a BlackBerry ID, you must use it when you set up your new 
tablet or smartphone (instead of creating a new 
BlackBerry ID). You can log in to both a tablet and a smartphone using the 
same 
BlackBerry ID.
If you're using an older BlackBerry smartphone, you might be able to create a BlackBerry ID from within an app that 
supports 
BlackBerry ID, or you can create a BlackBerry ID by visiting www.blackberry.com/blackberryid.
