Blackberry Bold Review - Oasis of the Business Smartphone

Saturday, June 27th, 2009
For many years the Blackberry had been the only smartphone on the market, and no one really used it for personal use. With so many manufacturers introducing their own smartphone, it was become more common for individuals to own a smartphone, and lately more specifically a Blackberry. Once RIM began to offer smaller versions as in the Pearl and the Curve, interest in the Blackberry grew. The introduction of the Blackberry Bold is changing that even more as there are so many features going into this model that have never been on any Blackberry phone in the past.

For the business sector, the changes to the Blackberry Bold are not that critical. Most of the “firsts” that RIM has added to the Blackberry Bold are primarily ones that would be used for personal use. The upgrade to the support for Microsoft Office is definitely a first and something that will be a great advantage to business users. With Documents on the Go it is possible to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents almost exactly as they would appear on a desktop. There are also upgrades to email capabilities that allow the user to read longer emails on the display screen, thus improving the communication between user and personal or business contacts.

Blackberry Bold is larger than its predecessors yet it is still lightweight enough not to create a problem. In spite of the smartphones that are being developed by other manufacturers, many businesses are still more content with Blackberry because of its longstanding use in the business world. The use of Blackberry in business is certainly one we can see when you hear it mentioned in novels that involve employees who travel for business. Though there are other smartphones today, one does not hear about them except in advertisements.

One reason commercial customers tend to stay with Blackberry is its long-standing record of reliability. Though personal users may be willing to try something new, businesses are less likely to do so. They are very stuck in their ways and not likely to change anytime soon. Take the two-way for example-other carriers now have this mode in place, but most business users still use Nextel because up until a few years ago it was the only carrier that had two-way capabilities. Commercial customers tend to be very loyal to their product line and are less likely to change than anyone else.

Blackberry Bold has not yet made a full entry into the mobile phone market, so you will have to look for a Blackberry Bold review from those areas where it has already made its mark. We should soon begin seeing mobile phone deals and thus have more information on the Blackberry Bold and its full line of features and how they work. In the meantime you can still rely on your faith in the Blackberry’s quality to make any decisions regarding the purchase of a Blackberry Bold until more concrete information is available by the end of the year.

Is there a way to store documents on the Blackberry 8830 without additional software?

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I know I can open attachments and read documents. But is there any way to file those documents (Word or Excel) on the Blackberry for easy retrieval later (I know I can file them in e-mail folders but I am looking for some kind of document folder instead). Is there such a function on the Blackberry 8830? (I also know there is software that will do this but I wanted to see if the native phone has this function at all)

How The Blackberry Devices Have Changed The Face Of The Modern World

Thursday, June 25th, 2009
Looking back at the past few decades, we see that there are many devices that have helped shape the world as it is today. This list is quite long, but one of the most prominent figures on this list is the BlackBerry. Today the BlackBerry has become almost a generic term for any handheld mobile device that has a host of functions, but when it was first released in 2002, it was definitely a unique invention. There was only one point on the agenda of the developers of the BlackBerry, the Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) – to make a single device that would fulfill all mobile needs of the user. And toward that end, the BlackBerry has succeeded, and how!

First and foremost, to say that the BlackBerry is just a phone will be a gross understatement. Having said that, it is necessary to add that the BlackBerry is the first device to make communication really mobile. The technology of the BlackBerry is such that it allows to people to communicate with each other wherever in the world they are. Cell phones can do that too, but the BlackBerry is definitely much more powerful at global communication. The service providers for cell phones also provide for the BlackBerry. Additionally, the BlackBerry can use all the three major technologies that are used for cell phone communication – GPRS, CDMA and GSM.

But, the BlackBerry has a host of features. It is right to say that this device is meant to transfer data over the cell phone lines rather than just verbal communication. You can dispatch documents, images, videos, audio and much more through the BlackBerry, to whichever part of the world you want. You can send and receive emails. You can chat with people from anywhere. If you look at it, the BlackBerry is a small personal computer that you carry in your hands. However, this computer’s network technology works on the technology that drives the cell phones. Therein lies the major difference.

You will also find that the BlackBerry has given rise to several cultures of its own. There is a whole world out there sharing and playing games specially meant for the BlackBerry. These games are developed specially and there are whole websites that deal only with BlackBerry games. In the same manner, there are legions of BlackBerry fans who are downloading screensavers, wallpapers, ringtones, caller tunes and what have you, specially meant for their handheld devices. This kind of frenzy has not been observed for any other communication device. The BlackBerry has definitely set some trends here.

Security issues for communication devices also became stricter with the invention of the BlackBerry. Since this phone has become a corporate phone as much as it is used by common people, it becomes very important to ensure security of mobile networks. New rules have been defined and new parameters have been set.

All these worldwide changes have been brought to effect by a single device – the BlackBerry. It is quite easily seen that this little black device has changed the history of the world in more ways than one.

Advice For Selling Your Blackberry Online

Thursday, June 25th, 2009
With technology advancing at the speed it is today many of us are left to sell our old Blackberry in order to replace and upgrade. There are many options for doing this, but being able to sell your Blackberry in the right manner, to benefit financially the best you can is an important factor. Places such as EBay and other online auction sites use to be thriving with people selling their Blackberry´s.

The number of visitors to these sites is not as large as they once were, meaning that you can sell a blackberry on there, but you will not raise as much money as you would for selling goods on there a few years earlier, so to benefit better when you sell your Blackberry you need to find another alternative in my opinion. The next most obvious place to consider is a second hand dealer of phones or electrical goods – a good option, but again if you sell your Blackberry to them you will not get a great deal of money for various reasons, including they have to make a profit when reselling it, or if repairs are required on your Blackberry then deductions will be made for this.

Let´s look at some other options to sell a Blackberry that can help you benefit, regardless of it´s condition; Classified Ad´s – Many people use these to sell Blackberry’s and other electrical goods, but do they make the best profit they can? In my opinion, no - When you want to sell a Blackberry I think you have to turn to the internet to find the best prices available, and no matter the condition of it, you know there will be a buyer ready to take your old blackberry off your hands and place cash in your pocket.

Sites such as CashForBerrys provide a perfect solution to anybody wanting to sell a Blackberry and in any condition, used or broken you can still receive a cash reward for selling it to them, and by doing this you are also benefiting the environment by eliminating another piece of electronic waste – because you know that regardless of the state of your Blackberry when you sell it to them it will be refurbished and will have an extended life.
