Blackberry Reviews

Before the year 2002, Blackberry was not known to many people as a fun phone. Research In Motion (RIM) solely marketed themselves to the business market and corporate users. The device had no benefit to the handful of individuals who used the phone for their own personal reasons. The business interface was too involved. The price of the device, when it was marketed to businesses, was much higher than it is now. Blackberry phone deals were few and far between.

RIM geared the Blackberry to the business demographic, because the programs suited business users. They had believed that business users would appreciate always being connected with this device. Being positive that just business users would love to basically have a mini computer in their pocket.

RIM saw the fact that many other smart phones were out there with the same technology. Those phones were being marketed to everyone and so RIM did the same. They redesigned the phone and gave the phone a great new life with pops of color, games and various apps made by RIM and also their users. They changed their advertising plan to fit both the business and individual markets. RIM continues, to this day, to redesign it's product and system to fit the current trends of the mobile market.

Since then there has been many different phones for the more modern generation. The Pearl Flip was one of the first. This was designed for the market who didn't want an open faced candy bar design smart phone. The Storm and Storm 2 have been competing in the touch screen market and even outdoing some of the very best touch screen phones that are in the market today! The typical design has also been redone tweaking the QWERTY keyboard and making the style of the phone much smaller.

The keyboards are what make this product stand out from the rest. The original QWERTY keyboard has been redesigned to be ergonomically correct. This fixes a lot of discomforts of continuous Blackberry use. The first product that showcased this was the Curve. Hence the name, the keyboard had (and still has) curved up a bit at that right angle. As for the Blackberry Storm and Pearl, they both have a condensed keyboard with two letters per key. This is unique to RIMs products. It uses RIMs Sure-Type Prediction, which is similar to the old T9 Prediction of the old non-smart phones. Blackberry also allows auto text, which can fix commonly misspelled words or turn a pre-programmed abbreviation into the word of the users choice.

Because of it's sleek and sophisticated design, this phone is very popular. While the phone has some stylish colors for it's users, a Blackberry is still easily recognized from any angle. Though it changes it's basic style every once in a while, the signature under style is still easy to be seen. The phones have become very small and very light weight. They are now a joy to carry because of how slim lined they are.

Not only does the phone still have the business applications, it also has applications for the others who use it. Blackberry Application World is one of the newest features of the phone. It allows you to go into the program and choose the applications that you want to download and use. It features hundreds of thousands of applications for all of the categories! The 3G speed and WiFi connectivity definitely help with web browsing and the downloads. To keep connected, the App World offers all of the different messaging platforms. Including it's unique communication tool, Blackberry Messenger.

There are many ways to get great Blackberry phone deals through wireless companies and even some select prepaid companies! Prices of the devices usually spike when a new model breaks onto the scene, but just a few months after the price goes down drastically. When the prices hit an affordable low, that is a great time to buy!
