About
BlackBerry
Bridge
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:

Messages
Take advantage of the reading pane and larger screen on your
tablet to work through your smartphone's inbox more quickly. Attach files from your
