When you assign a BlackBerry smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone user, the BlackBerry smartphone is associated with the BlackBerry smartphone user’s email account and service books are installed. You can assign a BlackBerry smartphone in one of the following ways:

1. With the Handheld Configuration Tool
2. With a Wireless Enterprise Activation
3. With the BlackBerry Desktop Manager

Note: Only one email address can be associated with a single personal identfication number (PIN) for BlackBerry smartphone users with accounts on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. If the BlackBerry smartphone user already has a previous BlackBerry smartphone assigned, these steps will remove that association and assign the new BlackBerry smartphone to that BlackBerry smartphone user.
