How to take screenshots of any Blackberry device like Pearl 8100 8120 / Curve 8320 and so on

I wanted to take screen shots of my Blackberry screen to explain how to move icons in the blackberry. There is no application in Blackberry to do that (Though in Iphone you can download a application after jail breaking iphone, through which you can do it with one click). The only way to take the screenshot of Blackberry device is listed below.

These steps listed below are for Windows PC :
1. You have to install Blackberry JDE, Before installing Blackberry JDE you have to install JDK on your machine from Sun website
2. Once you have JDE installed, install the Blackberry JDE from here.
3. Now open up the command prompt, you can open up command prompt by going to Start > Run and typing "CMD"
4. Connect the blackberry device to PC.
5. Find the directory in which Javaloader.exe exists which should usually be C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\ Blackberry JDE x.x.x\bin (where x.x.x should be the actual version on your PC)
6. In command prompt change the directory to where the Javaloader.exe is, in the case above you should type "cd C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\ Blackberry JDE x.x.x\bin" (replacing x.x.x with the version installed)
7. Switch to the screen you want to take screenshot of.
7. Then on command Prompt type "javaloader -u screenshot c:\yourfilename.jpg" , this will save the file to your local hard drive.
