BlackBerry Smartphones – Mobility and freedom like you’ve never experienced before

BlackBerry with LaptopWhen 3cubed upgraded our phones to BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphones, it only took 2 weeks for us to decide we had to become a BlackBerry® Alliance Member and share the phenomenal difference this has made to our business, our productivity and personal lives.

What is a BlackBerry smartphone …

A common misconception is that BlackBerry smartphones are just a phone with a keypad. While they are a phone and yes they do have a keypad they are so much more. They are one of the smartest devices you will ever lay your hands on.

BlackBerry smartphones made their debut in 1999, and since then its popularity has skyrocketed, particularly overseas and now in Australia.

A BlackBerry smartphone can do everything a normal mobile phone can do, including sending text messages via SMS. More importantly though, it is also:

• An organiser
• A calendar
• An e-mail client
• A Web browser
• A messenger tool and
• A handheld computer capable of:

• Replacing paper based forms with smart electronic forms
• Reviewing stock levels in your accounting application
• Placing orders into your accounting application
• Tracking drivers, security personnel, service technicians, sales people as they do their site visits (fantastic way to re-allocate resources)
• Running a copy of GoldMine
• Almost anything !

There are 2 keys to the success of the BlackBerry solution and both are software:

1) The software that runs on the device itself (one very intuitive and clever piece of software)
2) The software that runs on the server called BlackBerry Enterprise Server® that controls the data synchronisation and device itself.

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server is the server software that redirects new email, calendar updates, documents and other data straight to your phone. No cables required, which means no hassles trying to get your phone to synchronise.

Secure synchronisation of Contacts, Calendar and emails occur in the background. You don’t do a thing, IT JUST WORKS !!!

At the end of the day all this technology allows you the ability to attend to Client and Prospect enquiries quicker and easier.

On a personal note, I was always worried that I’d feel constantly bombarded given that I now receive emails, calls, SMS’s and instant messages instantly. The actually outcome was that I feel more in control. No longer do I wonder what surprises await for me when I check my emails in the office. Now, I can read the emails as I receive them (bite sized chunks) … so much easier and empowering.
