Many people, especially those who are involved in business, will recognize the BlackBerry on sight, as it is one of the few smartphones that is recognizable by brandname. What the BlackBerry does is combine a cellphone, PDA, laptop and camera into a handheld mobile device. For the real estate agent who is juggling a full schedule of home showings, client appointments, MLS monitoring and more, it may just be the ideal co-ordinator of one’s working and personal life.What do you do all day? You have appointments for home showings, the office, you have stuff you have to get done, you have papers that need filing and a hundred other little tasks that can pile up and be forgotten if they aren’t brought to your attention. You’re on the road a lot to appointments, seminars, lunches, etc. Maybe you have to keep track of a lot of clients and colleagues. You may have a family, which will mean that you need to make sure that you’re there for them when they need you. You need a portable system that’s easy to use, but is also powerful enough to help you do all of this.The BlackBerry allows you to sync your computer calendar/organizer with the Blackberry software. If you use Google Calendar or one of many other popular calendar/organizer software, your BlackBerry can update it as well as downloading information changes. This makes it easy to ensure that all of your appointments and reminders, including the ones you note on the fly are sent to where you will be able to see them when you are planning your schedule. While small, the keyboard for a BlackBerry is functional enough to support fairly quick data input.Need to get to an address? BlackBerry Maps can help you by pinpointing your location with the BlackBerry GPS and showing you where the address you’re seeking is on a map. You can plan a route or get driving directions to wherever you’re going. The constant connection to the Internet offered by most BlackBerry plans can be ideal for the busy agent, who is nowhere near an office, a computer and/or WiFi, to search the MLS and email clients. There is no more waiting to get back to the office; with a BlackBerry, the office comes with you. While not as powerful or as versatile on the Internet as a true laptop, the BlackBerry is more than capable of getting the essentials out immediately. The BlackBerry also supports MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, BlackBerry Messenger and Google Talk for realtime conversations.Need to send a picture of a property or feature? The BlackBerry has a camera with zoom capability. The Internet connection makes it easy and fast to send said picture to Facebook, email or Flickr. If your clients are asking about what something looks like, you don’t have to tell them – you can show them!One of the most exciting features that BlackBerry is going to offer to Realtors is the eKEY from BlackBerry’s parent company, Research in Motion (RIM). The eKEY will retrieve data directly from the MLS and enable users to search by ID number, address or buyers′ profiles. Google Maps is connected so that listings can be viewed on a map. Contact information is constantly updated, so that you can contact other agents, no matter what company they are working for. Users can also get real-time notifications on home showings and the agent(s) representing the homes being shown.All the bells and whistles that this little machine offers are perfect to help out Realtors on the move. If you’re looking at changing your phone and wondering what would suit you best, check out the BlackBerry. It is a great solution to some of the problems of an “on the go” career.

Research in Motion Ltd (RIM) has been so successful with their Blackberry phone that many people now more readily associate the term “Blackberry” with their phone more so than with the original fruit!

Yes indeed, Blackberry has truly dominated the Business market when it comes to mobile phones and mobile email. Their Hosted mail solutions enabling “Email on the Go” has definitely revolutionised Business Communications and increased productivity levels where companies have implemented their solution.

However the playing field is changing and RIM and they may not have it all their own way for much longer. Juggernaut Microsoft Corp. is going to make a major push on the software side of mobile e-mail and lots of new devices are due to hit the Business Market.

The Treo from Palm Inc (who are BlackBerry’s biggest hardware competitor) are due to launch an newly updated Treo. The new phone will run on Microsoft software. Also both Nokia & Motorola, the world’s two biggest makers of mobile phones have Blackberry clones in the pipeline. Hewlett-Packard also has a iPaq mobile device that launched last Autumn.

This army of competitors couldn’t have come at a worse time for RIM as they are currently locked in a legal battle with a company called NTP Inc. over patents. And this legal battle has even threatened to shut down the BlackBerry e-mail system in the USA. However unlikely the court-ordered shutdown is, it has definitely shaken Business users faith in Blackberry and created opportunities for RIM’s competitors. Good Technology, who are probably RIM’s biggest competitor on the lucrative software side of the business, has fielded more than a 100 calls from anxious BlackBerry customers recently.

Motorola’s Q and Nokia’s ᬱ both launch this summer and both devices feature QWERTY keyboards and are aimed as being direct competitors to the BlackBerry phone and who’s marketing will target Blackberry users. With all this competition going on though, RIM has been busy making plans and has licensed its system to other phone manufactures, including Motorola. The first non-BlackBerry device in the USA using RIM’s network, was the Nokia 9300,which launched in November 2007. For the most part, RIM’s devices are sold to Businesses who in turn section them out to their staff. Employees can then access all of their work e-mail from the road by using their Blackberry’s. Third party software solutions running on RIM’s Blackberry platform allow a host of useful Business applications. Things like GPS and hand held Satellite Navigation are great for those on the road or in the Transportation Business. Lawyers and Doctors can make use of the turn key Time Recording and Billing Solutions. Sales people can do PowerPoint presentations from their phones instead of lugging bulky laptops around. “Blackberry was the first to market with a turnkey solution,” says Richard Scott of BusinessMobiles.com a Business Solutions expert in the UK…. “It’s kind of a one-stop shop.”

“Whatever Business you’re in there’s definitely a software application that will save you time and money on the Blackberry Platform” BusinessMobiles.com is the UK’s largest independent mobile solutions provider. “The company’s ability to offer a complete device, software and hosted service package has been important to its success” Mr. Scott says.”The whole user experience is kind of seamless.” Much as the iPod dominates the music market in Ṃ players Blackberry dominates the marketplace in Business Communication tools.. Analysts estimate that RIM has 70 percent to 80 percent of the mobile e-mail market but with all that competition coming who know for how long??

If you think your Business would benefit from all the Benefits of Blackberry – with features like Email on the Go, Sat Nav, Remote Database Access and/or a whole host of other features – then contact BusinessMobiles.com today where we are currently offering YOU a 30 day Free Blackberry Trial. That’s Right! You get up to 5 new Blackberry Mobile phones to use for a whole month – all configured and delivered totally free of charge!

As we head into a brand new year, let’s take a look at two touchscreen mobile phones that have come into this year with us, and ask the question: which is best, the Blackberry Storm or the HTC Touch HD?

Blackberry Storm – the first ever touch-based Blackberry

Everyone knew it would happen eventually, after the iPhone was released, but this was the email giant’s response: the totally new, and totally innovative Blackberry Storm, RIM’s first ever touchscreen mobile phone. Oh, and I do mean innovative, because the Blackberry Storm has a whole new type of touchscreen, one that no other mobile phones have. You see, the Blackberry Storm has the world′s first ever ‘clickable’ touchscreen, and if you’re wondering what that means, well, basically it means that when you press the screen on the Blackberry Storm, it moves. It only moves a bit into the phone, but it does physically move, meaning that the whole screen on the Blackberry Storm acts as one giant button. So, when going through menus, you can tap the screen all you want, but it only selects something when you press the screen. So, that means no more accidentally starting programs you didn’t mean to, and when you’re typing on the onscreen keypad, the Blackberry Storm makes it feel like your typing on a real keypad! That’s rather useful, especially as the Blackberry Storm, needless to say, comes with the famous Blackberry email service. That’s not all you get, though, as it comes with a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA and GPS, along with Blackberry Maps, music player and tons of multimedia options. In other words, the Blackberry Storm is the very definition of the word smartphone.

HTC Touch HD – Windows Mobile gets a sexy new vessel

The HTC Touch HD was a mobile phone that surprised us all, since it virtually came out of nowhere. We’d seen the Diamond and the Touch Pro, so I don’t think anyone was expecting was about to get leaked next. But when it was, blimey did it grab us by the throat and not let go! There was one big (emphasis on the big) factor that caught everyone’s attention more than anything else: the HTC Touch HD comes with a massive 3.8 inch screen. not only is that bigger than the screens on any other phone, it’s bigger than most mobile phones! Combine that huge size with a resolution of 800×480 pixels, and the brilliant TouchFLO 3D interface, and you get the HTC Touch HD, a phone that’s going to give you the most satisfying touch-based phone experience you’ve ever come across. Put it this way, the HTC Touch HD is the first keyboard-less mobile phone that I can honestly say doesn’t need a keyboard. The massive screen makes touch commands so much easier than previous touchscreen mobile phones (and yes, that includes the iPhone). Features-wise, you get a 5 megapixel camera (alas, lacking a flash), HSDPA for super fast internet (and super-smooth, since you get Opera Mobile), WiFi, and GPS. In other words, the HTC Touch HD is simply stunning.

Blackberry Storm vs HTC Touch HD – Which should you buy?

So, if it comes down to a choice, which should you buy? Which is better, the innovative clicky screen of the Blackberry Storm, or the frighteningly HUGE screen of the HTC Touch HD? Well, on paper, the Blackberry Storm, but in the real world, there are a few issues. the biggest, and most worrying is that its innovation and biggest selling point is also its biggest flaw. You have to press the screen to select things, but the problem is that the screen takes that much force to press that when typing anything, it’s going to kill your thumbs very quickly, and start hurting. That’s a big black mark against the Blackberry Storm, that, having an email device that hurts you when you type and email. On top of that, the new operating system on the Blackberry Storm is rumoured to be a bit buggy, again letting it down. No such problems with the HTC Touch HD, however, because it has the already-proven TouchFLO interface, which is simply one of the best no the market. Not only that, but it hammers the Blackberry Storm in every way, from camera to web browser, from the onscreen keyboard to music, everything (well, in truth, the HTC Touch HD hammers just about all other mobile phones you can name). That’s why, if I had choose, I’d go for the HTC Touch HD any day. However, you should note, neither of them are as good as the Sony Ericsson X1…

The most anticipated mobile phone release from RIM Blackberry has finally come to fruition, the latest Blackberry Storm has now been officially launched as a network exclusive by Vodafone in the UK.

After months of speculation, revised release dates and general blog and forum post rumours this high specification device can now be connected to the full range of Vodafone pay monthly tariffs, but is a network exclusive launch good for the consumer?

Basically, the exclusive deal signed between the manufacturer and the network dictates that the Blackberry Storm can only be sold by the network on one of their many contract packages, the handset will not be available on any other UK network operators so there is no way of comparing prices or for that matter any competition – the Blackberry Storm has been developed solely for Vodafone.

This has obvious implications for consumers as there is no way of knowing whether the networks deals are of value, basically the network can set their own prices as the handset can not be purchased anywhere else, the Storm will be available from select retailers but again Vodafone have the say on pricing so as not to sell themselves short.

This may not be the end of it though and there may be some good news on the horizon, in the past network exclusive mobile phones have popped up as SIM free handsets from independent retailers, if these retailers can secure stocks of the Blackberry Storm there is a chance that they will offer the handset with no network subsidy or contract ties – this will initially work out far more expensive than buying the phone on contract however there are no extra ongoing line rental charges and the user can insert their existing SIM card to retain their current mobile number, account details and any saved contacts.

The Blackberry Storm could be a real candidate for the iPhone killer, in reaction to the release of the iPhone the standard of touchscreen mobile phones has reached new heights recently with the release of the Samsung Omnia, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and the LG Renoir and the Blackberry Storm is no exception.

Incorporating an amazing animated touchscreen similar to that of the HTC Touch Diamond, the Blackberry Storm is one of this years big product launches and has already created a buzz in an extremely competitive market, laying testament to the impact this handset is set to make. The Storm also offers a 3.2 megapixel camera, WiFi technology, built in GPS, Blackberry maps, HSDPA and Blackberry operating system.

This is not the first time RIM have made a BlackBerry which seems to appeal to everyone, but it is perhaps the first time they have packaged one inside such a stylish handset! Style is everything in consumer world and phones don’t come much better looking than when they are almost devoid of ugly buttons. It’s not just a pretty face either, as the Storm does everything the casual user demands.
