| OKay, OKay… I was half tempted to switch over to Blackberry before I touched the Holy Grail of phones the iPhone from Apple. But, you have to give credit to RIM for trying. Their latest BlackBerrys have added some class to the boring business device. RIM announced the Blackberry 8820 on Tuesday which is the first Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry. I have to give kudos to BlackBerry on all their efforts lately. They have taken the black hockey puck of cell phones and made it into a sophisticated looking business device. While Wi-Fi enabling their devices and making them prettier is a great idea, I think the biggest boost in their popularity will come from the full QWERTY keyboards on their newer devices. One of the major downfalls though with BlackBerry is having to purchase their overpriced push software for syncing the device over the air. Their syncing is the one thing they have that they can hang over Apple’s head right now in the competition, but rumors are swirling all over the internet about a deal between Microsoft and Apple to license ActiveSync and push technology to work on the iPhone.
All in all the BlackBerry 8820 looks great and I am sure will be wildly popular with die-hard blackberry fans, at least the ones that have never heard of the iPhone. |
