Blackberry Jamn

By Wynn Phillips

I put off buying a Blackberry because I wasn't sure if I needed all the techie options that came with it. I wish I hadn't waited. Once in hand, the Blackberry gave me business uses I didn't realized were available.

Understand that I am not the pursed lips, distracted look, thumbs working furiously type of gadget user. I use the business aspects of devices, rarely the installed games or text messaging in the case of phones. Even though the voice capability is the most used by me, receiving e-mails automatically pushed from my company is the asset that probably returns the greatest return on investment. Although one would think that having email flow continuesly on and off work is disruptive, I find the opposet. By quickly scanning the emails when I have a minute, I can short stop problems that would take hours to undo if left unattended. Doing that really saves me work. Some 4.3 million BlackBerry users have found the same benefit.

You can buy a BlackBerry on line at various sites, such as onlinecellstore.com or wirelessadvantage.com. The BlackBerry is offered by all providers to include Cingular, T-Mobile, Nextel and Sprint.

In fact, the universal capability of the BlackBerry is one of its most redeeming qualities. The BlackBerry was born in Waterloo, Ontario Canada by Research in Motion's (RIM).

Although RIM has chosen to keep a low profile, they made a key decision early on to make sure their technology got maximum exposure by targeting top Wall Street executives. In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense has also invested heavily in the BlackBerry for communication with their people.

You might have heard of the pending lawsuits against P.I.M. However, James L. Balsillie, R.I.M.’s chairman and co-chief executive, recently commented that a notification by the United States Patent and Trademark Office that it expected to reject five patents held by NTP, the intellectual property company that started the court case, seemed to be calming users and potential buyers.

"Wall Street professionals are heavily communications focused, heavily customer focused, what we found was many of those people could instantly justify the investment into this, even though it was of an unproven technology," said RIM vice president of corporate marketing Mark Guibert.

Bottom line is I really like my BlackBerry. It has saved me countless hours of work, provided me solid communication, and legal suits notwithstanding, will be my business tool of choice for the foreseeable future.
