New to Blackberry? Know What A Blackberry Is

The BlackBerry from Research in Motion is a popular wireless handheld that includes a small integrated keyboard. BlackBerry devices are primarily used by mobile professionals for secure wireless access to email, corporate data, telephone communication, and the Web.

BlackBerrys do not use Wi-Fi to connect to the Web. Instead they use private, subscriber networks on parts of the radio spectrum that are licensed.

For the most part, use of the BlackBerry is an enterprise thing. In other words, you may well be given one to use for business purposes by your company, but most people don’t go out and sign up for one as individuals.
