BlackBerry have long been pioneers in the realm of mobile business communication. Developed by Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM), these ever popular handsets have gone from the preserve of travelling executives to fashion accessories in recent years.

The first BlackBerry handset was released in 1999 and marketed as a 'two-way pager', three years later they released the first version of the modern BlackBerry featuring push email and web browsing capabilities. The modern BlackBerry models keep the fundamental business applications and email functionality at their core but now also include more recreational features such as integrated cameras and full colour screens.

The vast majority of BlackBerries feature a distinctive full QWERTY keyboard to facilitate easy emailing; they have however made forays into the touchscreen market with models such as the Storm. One of the standout features of BlackBerry handsets is their unique BlackBerry Messenger application which allows instant, free communication between handsets.
