Many of the people surrounding us are using Blackberry Phones. How many of us actually know the features and uses of Blackberry Smart Phones? Think about it. Blackberry phone has definitely started a new revolution for the access to Email wherever we go. Let’s get to know Blackberry Phones. The BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive e-mail wherever it can access a wireless network of certain cellular phone carriers.

RIM provides a multi-tasking operating system for the BlackBerry, which makes heavy use of the device’s specialized input device. The current OS provides a subset of MIDP 2.0, and allows complete wireless activation and synchronization with Exchange’s e-mail, calendar, tasks, notes and contacts, and adds support for Novell GroupWise and Lotus Notes. Going to CPU, the latest BlackBerry 9000 series is made with Intel XScale 624 MHz CPU, which makes the fastest BlackBerry till date. Blackberry Enterprise Server can act as a sort of e-mail relay for corporate accounts so that users always have access to their e-mail.

The software monitors the user’s local “inbox”, and when a new message comes in, it picks up the message and passes it to RIM’s Network Operations Center (NOC). The messages are then relayed to the user’s wireless provider, which in turn delivers them to the user’s BlackBerry device. This is called “push e-mail,” because all new e-mails, contacts and calendar entries are “pushed” out to the BlackBerry device automatically. An included feature in the newer models of the BlackBerry is the ability for it to track your current location through trilateration.

One can view the online maps on the phone and see current location denoted by a flashing dot. With more recent versions of the BlackBerry platform, the Mobile Data Service is no longer a requirement for wireless data access. Beginning with OS 3.8 or 4.0, BlackBerry handhelds can access the Internet without an MDS. Blackberry Internet Service was developed primarily for the average consumer.

This service allows POP3 and IMAP email integration for the personal user. It allows up to 10 email accounts to be accessed, including many popular email accounts such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL. There are also special bundles for just Myspace, Facebook, & MSN as well. So that are the features which we get on almost every Blackberry Smart Phone. Other than this some specifications goes on depending on the model of Blackberry.
