Advologix/Force.com Mobile is available for download from BlackBerry App World under the name 'Salesforce Mobile'. You need an App World account to download apps on your BlackBerry, but you can create an account from your device if you don't already have one.
To install the mobile app from BlackBerry App World:
-
Select the BlackBerry App World icon.
- If the icon is not available on your device, you might need to download BlackBerry App World.
- App World can't run on all BlackBerry smartphones, so be sure to review Research in Motion's system requirements before trying to install BlackBerry App World on your device.
- Select the Search icon.
- Enter Salesforce in the Search field.
- In the search results, select Salesforce Mobile or Mobile Lite.
- Click Download.
- After the installation completes, select OK.

-
Select the app icon, which resides on the home page of your device or in the Applications folder.
- On newer phones, the icon may be in the Downloads folder.
- Read the license agreement and select I Accept.
-
Enter your Salesforce username and password.
- Because many passwords contain special characters that are difficult to enter on the device, the Show Password checkbox is selected by default.
- To protect your password, you can deselect the option.
-
Select Activate.
- After your username and password are confirmed by Salesforce, the data downloads.
- The initial data download may last a few minutes.
- Future updates to the data occur automatically.
The BlackBerry App World is the preferred place for downloading the Salesforce Mobile app because users are automatically notified as upgrades become available. However, some BlackBerry administrators restrict users from downloading and using the BlackBerry App World on their devices. BlackBerry users can install Salesforce Mobile over-the-air directly from Salesforce.com if they are unable to access BlackBerry App World. To download Salesforce Mobile over-the-air, open your Web browser and navigate to the following URL: m.salesforce.com/bb.
Depending on your organization's setup, you might need to set up a passcode before accessing the application.
