BlackBerry devices normally take a fair few knocks in their day to day use, and in order to look after yours and keep it working as hard as you do, a case is a worthwhile investment. Leading manufacturers such as Krusell, PDair, Piel Frama and BlackBerry themselves make cases specifically for the BlackBerry devices, but which case is right for you?

Genuine BlackBerry Cases

Genuine BlackBerry
Genuine BlackBerry cases are designed to compliment your BlackBerry, while keeping your phone as accessible as possible. BlackBerry are one of the only manufacturers who offer phone specific cases in a range of styles and colours – and the only manufacturer that offer silicone cases. Genuine BlackBerry cases range from Protective Skins to Executive Leather Pouches. BlackBerry Skins protect your device from knocks and scrapes, without adding any extra bulk to your phone while the leather cases add style to your BlackBerry and normally cover the whole device. Your BlackBerry can still be charged and synchronised with out having to be removed from the case thanks to cut outs in the case for chargers and data cables. The BlackBerry pouches are similar in design to the original pouch provided with the BlackBerry Curve. They protect the phone from everyday knocks and some some also feature the magnet that puts your BlackBerry into quiet mode when insterted into the case.

Piel Frama BlackBerry Cases

Piel Frama
The Piel Frama range of BlackBerry cases are hand made, with meticulous attention to detail. Every Piel Frama case is assembled by hand, to create designs that perfectly complement your BlackBerry. As with the Genuine BlackBerry cases, your BlackBerry can be charged and synchronised without having to be removed from the case thanks to cut outs in the leather. Each case has space for storing credit cards or business cards. All Piel Frama cases are a vertical flip design and have a removable belt clip.

PDair BlackBerry Cases

PDair
PDair BlackBerry cases are Executive Leather cases that protect your phone and keep it looking stylish. PDair BlackBerry cases are available in a range of styles, including; Book Case, Sleeve Case and Flip Case. Most of the PDair BlackBerry cases have a magnetic sensor built in that activates the “In-Holster” profile settings. They have a secure belt clip that can be easily removed if not required and have cut outs in the leather to allow your BlackBerry to be charged or connected to your PC with out having to be taken out of the case.

Krusell BlackBerry Cases

Krusell
Krusell BlackBerry cases are designed for the everyday user. Krusell’s “cabriolet” design leaves the keyboard open, making typing much easier, and the open top allows for quick removal of your BlackBerry device.

Sounds Familiar!
The name maybe often confused for a BlueBerry, but BlackBerry is one of the most recognised names in the business world.

Why is it popular in the Business World then?
BlackBerry by converging technology now supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services. This means it’s ideal for people who need all their office facilities on the move.

It does Email?
Arguably the push email system it provides is what makes BlackBerry famous! Push Email means instant email. As soon as an email is received by the server, the email is ‘pushed’ to your BlackBerry device within seconds. Standard email servers usually work by connecting to the server every so often and downloading a batch of emails at a time, so it’s not instantaneous.

Just for Business users then?
I’d honestly say no, with all the features packed into this device it is suitable for anyone looking for a good phone with top end features. It maybe seen as a business handset, but if you need HSDPA (fast internet access), GPS or even Wi-Fi, then this phone will do the job.

Any other ways to communicate?
Well, it’s not just a phone and email device but there is also there BlackBerry Messenger, it’s a free service similar to MSN that allows you to instantly chat with other BlackBerry users. Oh don’t worry if you have MSN or Yahoo messenger – that will work too but you may have to pay extra for it to your network.

What is the latest BlackBerry out?
The BlackBerry Bold is coming out this month!

What’s so special about it?
Well it has the normal features of previous BlackBerry devices, but it will be the first BlackBerry with HSDPA – which means fast internet connection. It also has all the features you would expect for a new top range phone including inbuilt GPS and Wi-Fi, a 2 Megapixel camera, expandable memory, Media Player and support for Word, Excel and PDF files.

Do I really need one?
If you’re an email junky, a techie or just someone who likes to stay up to date – then yes. If you’ve never had email on your mobile before, I can’t explain how useful it is, and it’s not just perfect for business users, I use it to keep up to date with my Facebook notifications.

Summary
Here’s a quick list on why you should buy it:

Push email.
HSDPA for fast internet connection.
In-built GPS so you never get lost again.
Wi-Fi.
QWERTY keyboard for easy emailing and messaging.
Half-VGA (480×320 pixel resolution) and a 65,000-color display for nice clear viewing.
