Basic Details about Blackberry
3. BlackBerry Limited, formerly known as Research In Motion Limited (RIM), is a Canadian
telecommunication and wireless equipment company best known to the general public as the
developer of the BlackBerry brand of smartphones and tablets, but also well known worldwide as
a provider of secure & high reliability software for industrial applications and mobile device
management (MDM).
5. Advantages: BlackBerry Messenger
– Before WhatsApp, Viber, and all the other new messaging
applications arrived the BlackBerry Messenger was king.
-Many of its features were copied by its competitors and it is still
the most secured messaging app on the market.
6. Security:
-BlackBerry makes the highest secured mobile phones in the
world.
-There is a reason why the White House uses them and does not
allow the President to switch even though he insist on ditching
his Blackberry.
Great Keyboards:
-BlackBerry keyboards are pretty flexible and of great help for fast
texting without errors. The keyboards feel way better than touch
type.
7. Email:
-None of BlackBerry’s competitors have been able to match the
effectiveness of Blackberry’s distinguished email system.
Synchronizes with iTunes:
-Very generous! While the iPhone doesn’t synchronize with
any other music software, the BlackBerry can synch with
iTunes and any other mobile music management software.
8. Disadvantages:Limited Application Memory:
-App memory is less compared to Android and iOS devices —
even with a 32GB Micro SD card, you can still only have 256MB
of application memory (some devices may have more, many
have less.(Initial level).
Erases Text Messages:
-The BlackBerry erases text messages occasionally to clear
memory. If you text frequently and like to save information in
your text messages, this could be an inconvenience.
9. Loud Camera:
-The blackberry camera sound is too loud that if you are in some
places where too much voice is not suitable at that time this
creates a problem.
Apps:
-Blackberry applications are nothing compared to Android and
IOS in terms of both quantity and quality
