The power of BlackBerry business mobiles

Research In Motion (RIM) unleashed the first BlackBerry mobile phone on the world in 1999. It was specifically aimed at business users and remains the handset of choice for many businesses nearly 12 years later although competition is increasing.

BlackBerry is mostly valued as a messaging tool with push email coming as standard. The secure nature of BlackBerry email, as well as its compression algorithm which reduces data transfer, ensures it remains as one of the best selling business mobile phones so long after it was introduced.

Obviously there have been many different BlackBerry handsets over the years, not all of them well received or successful. But throughout they have retained their loyal following of business users who swear by them and can't stop using them.

The best received devices tend to have full QWERTY keyboards to take advantage of the BlackBerry messaging services. Recent touch screen devices have been less successful although the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 has a combination of the two.

The cost of BlackBerry has also been an issue for many. They certainly used to be more expensive than standard handsets. However with the release of the BlackBerry 8520 (the budget BlackBerry?) this has changed. Also in comparison with all-singing and dancing handsets like the mega-expensive iPhone 4 even the most expensive BlackBerry phone looks reasonably priced!

The operating system powering the BlackBerry mobile phones is specific to them and them alone. Again it is a business focused OS, refined over the years to provide the synchronisation needed in the modern office.

It also provides the platform for business related apps which can be obtained from BlackBerry App World, Over The Air through the BlackBerry mobile browser, or through the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
