The first time you open Calendar, you'll likely see the Day view, which is a default setting on most of the BlackBerry models (See Figure 1.) You can change the Calendar view, though, to a different one that works better for your needs:
- Day: This view gives you a summary of your appointments for the day. By default, it lists all your appointments from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Figure 1: Day view in Calendar.
- Week: This view shows you a seven-day summary view of your appointments. By using this view, you can see how busy you are for the week.
- Month: The month view shows you every day of the month. You can't tell how many appointments are in a day, but you can see on which days you have appointments.
- Agenda: The agenda view is a bit different from the other views. It isn't a time-based view like the others; it basically lists your upcoming appointments. And in the list, you can see details of the appointments, such as where and when they are.
Different views (like the ones shown in Figure 2) offer you a different focus on your schedule. Select the view you want based on your scheduling needs and preferences. If your life is a little more complicated, you can even use a combination of views for a full grasp of your schedule.

To switch between different Calendar views, simply follow these steps:
1. Open Calendar by scrolling to the Calendar application on the Home screen and clicking the trackwheel.
Doing so calls up the Calendar application in its default view - more than likely the Day view.
2. While within the Calendar application, press the trackwheel and then select the view of your choice from the menu that appears (shown in Figure 3).
If you start from Day view, your choices are View Week, View Month, and View Agenda.
