\"BlackBerry<\/a><\/p>\n

Sounds Familiar!<\/strong>
\n The name maybe often confused for a BlueBerry, but BlackBerry is one of the most recognised names in the business world.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Why is it popular in the Business World then?<\/strong>
\n BlackBerry by converging technology now supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services.\u00a0 This means it\u2019s ideal for people who need all their office facilities on the move.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It does Email?<\/strong>
\n Arguably the push email system it provides is what makes BlackBerry famous!\u00a0 Push Email means instant email.\u00a0 As soon as an email is received by the server, the email is \u2018pushed\u2019 to your BlackBerry device within seconds.\u00a0 Standard email servers usually work by connecting to the server every so often and downloading a batch of emails at a time, so it\u2019s not instantaneous.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Just for Business users then?<\/strong>
\n I\u2019d 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.\u00a0 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. <\/p>\n

Any other ways to communicate?<\/strong>
\n Well, it\u2019s not just a phone and email device but there is also there BlackBerry Messenger, it\u2019s a free<\/strong> service similar to MSN that allows you to instantly chat with other BlackBerry users.\u00a0 Oh don\u2019t worry if you have MSN or Yahoo messenger – that will work too but you may have to pay extra for it to your network. <\/p>\n

What is the latest BlackBerry out?<\/strong>
\n The BlackBerry Bold<\/a><\/strong> is coming out this month!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so special about it? <\/strong>
\n Well it has the normal features of previous BlackBerry devices, but it will be the first BlackBerry with HSDPA \u2013 which means fast internet connection.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Do I really need one? <\/strong>
\n If you\u2019re an email junky, a techie or just someone who likes to stay up to date – then yes.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never had email on your mobile before, I can\u2019t explain how useful it is, and it\u2019s not just perfect for business users, I use it to keep up to date with my Facebook notifications.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>
\n Here\u2019s a quick list on why you should buy it:<\/p>\n
