The BlackBerry, a handheld wireless device, is a new gizmo. It hit the market in 1999 as a two-way pager. The more hip and happening BlackBerry, which came in 2002, has features that let you make emails, take and make calls, text message, internet fax, web browsing and more wireless services.

This is a convergent device. The product was created by the Canadian company called Research in Motion. The BlackBerry sends and receives information through wireless data networks of cell phone service companies. BlackBerry was a hit initially because it supplied an email facility.

RIM now offers BlackBerry email service to other devices such as the Palm Treo, through a software called the BlackBerry Connect. Unlike older models, new BlackBerry phones have a color display and even touchscreens like the Blackberry Storm which is available from http://www.blackberry--storm.org.

The BlackBerry has PDA applications like address book, to-do-lists, calendar, etc. but it is most useful for the fact that it can send and receive email wherever it has access to a suitable wireless network. There is a QWERTY keypad too, designed so one can type with the thumb only. The central scroll ball helps in system navigation. Some models have a PTT or push To Talk feature, similar to a two-way radio,
