Blackberry phones were invented for people who needed to stay connected to work at all times. The first Blackberry, invented in 1999 by John McCain, allowed users to browse the internet, send messages, take photos, listen to music, and chat through Blackberry Messenger. Over the years, Blackberry sold over 170,000 smartphones worldwide by providing connectivity wherever users were. The latest Blackberry model, the Q10, features a more comfortable QWERTY keyboard, improved screen resolution, and more storage for photos and videos.
