How does BlackBerry work?
For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ software
tightly integrates with Microsoft® Exchange, IBM® Lotus® Domino™
and Novell GroupWise® to enable secure, push-based, wireless
access to email and calendar.
For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet
Service™ allows users to access up to ten corporate and/or
personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus
Domino and many popular ISP email accounts) from a single
device.

What are the
advantages of BlackBerry?
BlackBerry gives users the functionality of a mobile phone with
superior email and text messaging capabilities. It allows users
to communicate quickly and efficiently.
BlackBerry devices offer a convenient organizer, complete with
integrated address book and calendar. And with browser
capabilities, users can easily access information on the web.
With BlackBerry “push” technology, when an email message is
sent, it's automatically pushed to the BlackBerry device. No
prompting. No downloading.

Is
BlackBerry a PDA?
BlackBerry
differs from Personal Digital Assitants (PDAs) in a number of
ways.
BlackBerry is a complete solution that provides users with
secure, wireless access to a full suite of business
applications, including email, corporate data, phone, SMS, web
and organizer features. This proven platform incorporates
industry-leading software, services and hardware, providing a
complete end-to-end solution.
The data entry methods for BlackBerry handhelds are different
than that for most PDAs. BlackBerry handhelds use the familiar
QWERTY keyboard and a "click and roll" trackwheel.
BlackBerry handhelds are designed to remain on and continuously
connected to the wireless network so email can be automatically
delivered to your handheld. No dialing-in. No initiating
connections. No modem to attach. No effort required.
With BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Desktop
Redirector, BlackBerry incorporates advanced Triple DES and/or
AES encryption technology, to meet stringent corporate security
guidelines for remote email access. Email messages remain
encrypted at all points between the BlackBerry handheld and a
corporate email account, providing measures for the integrity
and security of the data.
With support for Java™ 2 Micro Edition (J2ME™), BlackBerry
enables a wide range of software application development based
on open standards.

What if
users don’t want to be "too connected?"
BlackBerry allows users to answer email, access corporate
data and communicate with others whenever they choose,
allowing users to get critical information and filter
the rest.
For email, filtering can be used to define what types of
messages are received on the handheld so that users only
receive those that are important to them.
BlackBerry handhelds feature a variety of notification
settings, allowing users to define how they are notified
about different types of communications (e.g. phone
calls, email, data alerts), so users can be discreetly
notified of only the most important information when
they do not wish to be disturbed.
|
|
Is the
data sent to my handheld secure?
With
BlackBerry Enterprise Server BlackBerry provides
end-to-end security using Triple DES and/or AES
encryption. All incoming and outgoing data is encrypted,
and existing firewalls in corporate environments are not
compromised. If the data is intercepted while in transit
between the enterprise and the handheld, it is
unreadable. In the encryption model used by BlackBerry,
only the handheld and the BlackBerry software know the
encryption key.
|
|
Is
there password protection on the BlackBerry handheld?
Yes. Setting a password can protect the contents of the
BlackBerry handheld. Once set, users can easily lock the
handheld to protect against unauthorized access. If the
handheld is left accidentally unlocked, password
protection automatically begins after a brief period of
inactivity. Should an incorrect password be entered more
than 10 times, the handheld’s memory will automatically
be erased, leaving the handheld unusable. If the
legitimate owner forgets the password, the handheld’s
applications can be reloaded from the desktop. The
password itself is stored on the handheld in a secure
manner so if the contents of memory were somehow
downloaded from the handheld, it would not be possible
to determine the password.
|
|
What if
I am out of wireless data coverage?
When you travel into areas with minimal or no wireless
data coverage, messages you send will be held at the
handheld and the network will store messages sent to you
until you return to an adequate coverage area.

Is
BlackBerry considered a pager?
BlackBerry is not a pager. It is an end-to-end wireless
solution that offers a unique combination of hardware,
software and service to provide access to keep users
connected to information and communications.
BlackBerry provides wireless access to a full suite of
business applications, including email, corporate data,
phone, SMS, web and organizer features, so one can
manage all communications and information from one
single, integrated wireless handheld.
|
|
What is
the battery life like?
Due to the efficiency of BlackBerry applications, and
wireless access to information not stored on the
handheld, the handheld’s memory is more than adequate to
satisfy the typical BlackBerry user.
Each BlackBerry handheld has enough memory for thousands
of addresses, appointments and email messages, as well
as some additional third party applications.
BlackBerry handhelds store applications and data in
flash memory, so unlike other devices, applications and
data will be safe even if the handheld experiences a
power failure.
