Two Year’s Later
One Fine day a mail is recvd. from Training Dept. that RIM( research in motion – promoters of Blackberry around the world) have organized a seminar on Blackberry at The Taj, Hotel & you have to be a part of it so I was there & many doubts I had in mind about Blackberry were cleared.
I guess most of us have heard a lot about Blackberry but we might not be aware of actually about the product & to whom it is useful?

Its an always connected wireless solution providing easy & secure access anytime anywhere.
Blackberry actually integrades with the company’s e-mail system(lotus or Microsoft) & uses corporate mail box. For this service corporate need to buy an Enterprise Server & all their employees can be integrated to this server.
Once this is set you can instantly read, write, forward the mails what’s more you can also view attachments in Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint etc.
you can manage your business and personal communications - even when abroad. Email messages that are sent to your Internet Service Provider(ISP) email address(es) will be automatically pushed to your Blackberry device.
