Me and Obama use BlackBerry, how about you?

BlackBerry 8800 Unlocked Phone with Quad Band, Bluetooth, Music Player, Card Slot, Full Qwerty KeyBoard--International Version with No Warranty (Navy Blue)We have talked about a software for managing mobile device. Talking about mobile device wont be complete if we don't talk about Blackberry. I use BlackBerry (a Gemini, the simple one), even President of the United States Barack Obama became notorious for his dependence on a Blackberry device for communication during his 2008 presidential campaign. Despite the security issues, he insisted on using it even after inauguration, becoming the first President of the United States to use mobile e-mail. This was seen by some as akin to a "celebrity endorsement," which marketing experts have estimated to be worth between 25 and 50 million dollars.

BlackBerry is a line of mobile e-mail and smartphone devices developed by Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM). While including typical smartphone applications (address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc., as well as telephone capabilities on newer models), the BlackBerry is primarily known for its ability to send and receive Internet e-mail wherever it can access a mobile network of certain cellular phone carriers. It commands a 20.8% share of worldwide smartphone sales, making it the second most popular platform after Nokia's Symbian OS, and is the most popular smartphone among U.S. business users.

One of its best feature is BlackBerry Messenger a.k.a. BBM. Newer BlackBerry devices use the proprietary BlackBerry Messenger, also known as BBM, software for sending and receiving instant messages via BlackBerry PIN or barcode scan. There is also the BlackBerry Alliance program of partners who work under contract with Research In Motion to create new BlackBerry applications. Typical applications include digital dictation, GPS tracking, CRM and expense management. On October 6, 2009 BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 was officially released, adding a whole new set of features, including bar code scanning to add contacts, profiles, sharing your location via GPS, and creating groups. The real advantage of BBM is that much like its internet based counter-parts, it also allows its users to connect to another user around the world.

Chatting on BlackBerry will be easier with a software that we found, TRILLIAN.Yes, it's Trillian the famous instant messaging. A news from Cerulean Studios about Trillian Beta for BlackBerry will be a good news for chat-lover. A page about Trillian for BlackBerry already settled nicely in their website.

Well... chatting, browsing, mail push, and other service from BlackBerry also consumes power. And talk about power in mobile device means battery. Yes, the service sometimes can drain the battery fast. I need to recharge my Blackberry almost everyday.Some tips for saving the battery can be found in BBGeeks. When searching about BlackBerry battery, we found a software that claimed can boost the battery power. It's Battery Plus for BlackBerry, a powerful battery boosting tool and power management application specially designed for BlackBerry, released by EMobiStudio.com. But unfortunately, this software has no trial version to try.
