BlackBerry Mobile Phones

Although BlackBerrys are traditionally marketed at ambitious and driven business people (and have a price tag to match!), the BlackBerry 8520 Curve is a great pocket and user-friendly alternative. It combines fantastic BlackBerry features with social networking, a 2 megapixel camera and a first-rate music player to produce a very appealing device suitable for the home user or buisness person alike.

If you're already an experienced BlackBerry user, you'll love the next-generation BlackBerry Bold 9700 with its dazzling design, GPS, Wi-Fi and 3.5G connectivity and fastest Blackberry processor yet – the ultimate BlackBerry experience for demanding users on the go. Or if you're looking for the latest in cutting-edge touchscreen technology, look no further than the BlackBerry Storm2. Building on the massive success of its predecessor in both the home and business sector, the Storm2 features an enhanced transmissive touchscreen with click-like feedback and new Wi-Fi capability, making it one of the fastest, most efficient business phones on the market!

The BlackBerry was developed by the Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM) and is widely accepted to be the ultimate portable email device for business executives across the world. But BlackBerry smartphones are so much more than that - they combine push email, mobile telephony, messaging, web browsing, document editing, as well as an organiser and multimedia features in an incredibly stylish and professional device.

The first BlackBerry, the 850, was launched in 1999 and was little more than a two-way pager that ran on AA batteries! The 857/957 were the next models produced and they already resembled the BlackBerry as we know and love it today - with a larger screen, the ability to sync up to 10 email accounts and, of course, the signature full QWERTY keyboard. Next came the slimmer Pearl range, then the popular Curve, and finally the Storm, BlackBerry's first touchscreen handset.

The name "BlackBerry" is derived from the fact that the marketing team that was tasked with making up the handset’s name thought the array of buttons looked like seeds!
