Unless you have spent part of the past few years in a cave or under a rock
you have heard of the Blackberry. However
and with that said
even though you may have heard of the Blackberry
you may now know exactly what a Blackberry is in essence. Therefore
this article has been prepared to provide you with some basic information about the Blackberry.

In basic terms
a Blackberry is a line of mobile communication devices that allow you to undertake a number of different tasks through the use of the Blackberry itself. For example
a Blackberry is designed to allow you to read and respond to email. On top of reviewing
reading and sending email
there are many other functions that can be performed with a Blackberry. Indeed
on so many levels
the Blackberry truly is an all purpose piece of personal communications equipment.

In promoting the Blackberry
its manufacturer has described the Blackberry as a “complete package” that includes airtime
software and a mobile communication element that allows you to undertake a wide variety of tasks -- from the palm of your own hand. Presently
the Blackberry widely is available in the United States
Canada and United Kingdom. Present plans are in place for the Blackberry to be introduced in other countries the world over in the very immediate future.

Technically speaking
the Blackberry in the United States and Canada relies on either the narrowband PCS 800 Mhz DataTAC network or the narrowband OCS 900 Mhz Mobitex network for its functionality. In the United Kingdom
the Blackberry operates on the the GPRS network.

Many who have taken to the Blackberry have sung its praises because it is easy to use. It has a very user friendly interface and an easy to manipulate keyboard (unlike many similar products that have tragically difficult keyboards). With few exceptions
a person who tries a Blackberry ends up very fond of the Blackberry. Oftentimes a person who has a Blackberry can be found to remark that he or she cannot imagine getting by without a Blackberry.
