Blackberry

The Blackberry device made its first appearance on the tabletops of the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM), some time around 1999. This dainty little handheld device makes use of the existing wireless mobile network to deliver emails instantly the moment they arrive in the users email account. The service initially began by supporting push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services that help a user by providing constant wireless connectivity to the world.

The Blackberry phone features some of the common applications found in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). By supporting such applications, the Blackberry aimed to provide multi-functional capabilities in a central digital device that allows user more freedom to perform work from a central location, even when on the move. The tiny device is sold in many countries and manufactured for use on popular networks such as Nextel, TELUS, and other iDEN networks. Another prime advantage of Blackberry handhelds over the conventional "Smartphones" is that they do not rely on mobile phone service coverage and have in-built Wi-Fi compatibility. This allows the Blackberry device to communicate with other Blackberry PDAs freely to connect and share information at the touch of a button.

Some of the most popular Blackberry devices feature fast processors and plenty of RAM memory such as the Blackberry 8700 that has an Intel PXA901 312 MHz processor and 16 MB SRAM that provides fast response to user input immediately. Another Blackberry phone that follows the footsteps of its brethren is the Blackberry Pearl, which is loaded with a number of features coupled with stylish looks and design.
