Why is the Blackberry Phone so Popular?

By Charlie Silks


Movies like "He's Not Just Into You" caused an uproar when the character of Drew Barrymore made a sweeping statement about how dependent she has become to her communications, particularly her Blackberry phone.

Blackberry phones are smartphones, meaning, this is a phone that has a lot of uses and tools which have made it very popular among business travellers and digital nomads alike. In fact, anyone who has an email account and needs constant communications can benefit from having this phone in their hands.

The most popular convenience that this phone can give is to be able to get instant email messages. Normally, one has to open and log into the Internet and access the email, nothing warns the traveller that there is an incoming mail. With the Blackberry phones, once the email comes in the phone will immediately alert the user. Access is instant as long as there is a signal and instant replies to the email can also be done easily.

Another reason for its popularity is that the user does not need a laptop to surf the Internet. Even when travelling in a train or a plane, the surfing can be done with ease. Simply go on the application and voila! roaming and surfing is instant. This is especially helpful if the user is driving and is not familiar with the area. Going on Google maps will instantly give directions to wherever it is that they need to go.

With the Blackberry phones, there is no need for the user to bring along an iPod just to listen to favourite music. This phone also has the same capabilities as the iPod and can store and play all the favourite music files as well as download files from iTunes.

Business travellers who need constant updating on news and events have to rely on the latest news. The Blackberry phones can be programmed to send a warning tone to the user that there are important news updates coming in.

The applications that are included in the Blackberry are not like those of the iPhone but it is close to it. If a specific application is not available, the Blackberry can download it. This should include entertainment, games, maps, news, management, and videos.

The Blackberry is not just a surfer gadget - this is a smart cell phone great for entertaining the user, great for business, and best of all, great for instant communications.
