To send a PIN message
A personal identification number (PIN) is a number that is used to identify each
handheld on the network. If you know the PIN of another person’s handheld, you
can add it to your Address Book and use it to send a PIN message directly to that
person.

If you are in an area of wireless coverage that is sufficient for sending PIN

indicator in the handheld status section of the screen.
