Anyone who knows anything about mobile phones will know about Blackberry. The mobiles, best known for their business features and their peerless email and messaging services, have become one of the most popular ranges of mobiles since their launch in 1999. The firm that develops the Blackberry, Research in Motion, a Canadian electronics company, is less well known but should none the less be applauded for their continuing development of impressive hardware and efficient software that has gathered an army of fans over the last decade.
RIM first developed a Blackberry device at the end of the 20th century, releasing a two way pager that was known as the 850 and first stamping their mark on the world of communications. The first smartphone to be developed by the company was the real beginning of big things for RIM though.
Released in 2002, the 5810 ran on Java and included such features as push e mail, web browsing, internet faxing and, of course, mobile telephone. This could truly be considered a ground breaking model but Blackberry in 2002 was very different than it is today. The 5810 and it’s contemporaries were aimed entirely at the business market but it is RIM’s move into the general public that has seen them truly become big players in the mobile phone business.
Blackberry is now one of the most popular mobile phone ranges all over the world and they contain far more than the business features that made them famous previously. Features such as touch screen displays, optical trackpads – which replaced the extremely popular trackballs that used to be common on Blackberry mobile devices – and top social networking features are common on Blackberry phones, showing just how far the range has come along in the last 9 years.
One of the latest phones to come out in the Blackberry range is the Blackberyy Pearl. First developed in 2006, the Pearl has been redeveloped several times and the latest model, the 9100 boasts the optical trackpad, full e-mailing and messaging services from Blackberry and a 3.2 megapixel camera. This shows that the future looks just as impressive as the past for Blackberry.
