Are you not able to decide What to take blackberry or Iphone. Given below are the Top Blackberry Advantages. Reading this article decide yourself Blackberry or Iphone

Top Advantages of Blackberry

Blackberry phones

  • Blackberry can be used on almost every carrier in the world (over 475 of them). In the US, the iPhone is available on AT&T (T) only.
  • Blackberry is available in five form factors – small keyboard, large keyboard, no keyboard, flip phone, and candy-bar.
  • Most Blackberries have keyboards, so you can actually type fast and with no errors. Helps while driving, walking, carrying something in your other hand – all the time. iPhone: well…
  • Blackberry uses standardized (=inexpensive and available everywhere in the world) MicroUSB connector for synchronization/charging. iPhone has a much larger proprietary 30-pin connector.
  • Some carriers such as Verizon (VZ) and Sprint (S) offer unlimited international Blackberry data roaming for $40/month or less. iPhone does not. This could save you literally tens of thousands of dollars when you are abroad.
  • If your Blackberry is on T-Mobile USA, it also offers unlimited WiFi calling from anywhere in the world. This is with your existing number – in and out – so no new special number, procedure, etc. iPhone cannot do this (because it is only on AT&T; only T-Mobile USA offers this), and it can save you well over $100 per day when you’re abroad. Think $1 per minute savings, and you’re on the phone two hours per day. That’s $120/day.
  • Blackberry has expandable memory. iPhone is fixed and sold at 8, 16 or 32 gig only.
  • Blackberry has removable and expandable battery. iPhone is fixed.
  • Blackberry allows programs to multitask. iPhone has limited multitasking.
  • The newest Blackberry screen resolution is 480×360. iPhone is 480×320.
  • Blackberry allows communicating peer-to-peer via PIN identifier, circumventing the email system. No such iPhone equivalent.
  • Skype (EBAY) on the Blackberry? Yes, from anywhere to anywhere. Skype on iPhone? Only if you’re on WiFi.
  • Sling on the Blackberry? Yes, it’s free. Sling on iPhone? $30.
  • Google (GOOG) Voice on the Blackberry? Yes, it’s free. Google Voice on iPhone? Verboten.
  • Blackberry can be synchronized to multiple computers simultaneously, if you have multiple computers.
  • Multiple Blackberries can receive the same email feeds simultaneously, if you have multiple Blackberries.
  • Blackberry can sort the address book entries by company name, so you can scroll down a long list of names you don’t remember, but you just want to see who works for which company. Aside from sorting, the iPhone can take several seconds to search your address book, particularly if you have several thousand address book entries.
  • Blackberry isn’t slowed down by having, say, 10,000 or 100,000 address book entries. Try using an iPhone with 10,000 address book entries.
  • All major instant messengers are available on Blackberry.
  • Blackberry is available with multiple browsers from multiple suppliers. iPhone is available only with its standard Safari browser.
  • Blackberry synchronizes with iTunes – and every other media management program.
  • Blackberry models with 480 pixel resolution and WiFi offer PrimeTime2Go, an $8/month TV service that works as a DVR.
  • Blackberry fits as many emails in the inbox as there is memory available (typically many tens of thousands). iPhone is limited to 200 emails. Yes, iPhone has a remote look-up capability, but that doesn’t do you any good when you’re on an airplane or are otherwise out of coverage.
  • Price: Unlimited iPhone voice/data service, including unlimited SMS, is $150/month. Blackberry can be had for much less. For example, unlimited Blackberry service is offered on Sprint for $100/month, T-Mobile USA $125/month, MetroPCS $50/month, although AT&T/Verizon match the iPhone at $150/month.
  • Prepaid “no contract” flexibility: The AT&T web site says the iPhone is sold with a 2-year contract only, although once upon a time it offered a “contract-free” iPhone if you paid close to $899 up-front for the iPhone itself. In contrast, you can get prepaid no-contract Blackberry service on any old or new T-Mobile USA Blackberry handset for $65/month (600 minutes, unlimited Blackberry/Internet, but no SMS), or you can get truly unlimited-everything prepaid $50/month service from MetroPCS, if its handset selection and coverage areas are acceptable to you. That’s ONE THIRD the cost of the iPhone, and there is no contract.
  • Blackberry is an encrypted military-grade security platform, with 100% market share at FBI, CIA, White House, Congress, Department of Defense, major consultancies and major investment banks. In contrast, iPhone has security vulnerabilities. Please see this document for details as to why the Blackberry is the only platform approved for use in our national security agencies. It compares against the iPhone and Microsoft Mobile platforms (.pdf).

Blackberry History

Filed under Software Development by on June 6, 2011 at 4:10 pm {no comments}

A handheld, wireless communication device and favorite of many gadget enthusiasts, the BlackBerry came on the market in 1999, functioning as a two-way pager at the time. Improvements kept coming and by 2002, the BlackBerry featured email, text message, web browsing, voice communication and even internet faxing functionality.

The BlackBerry, developed by Canadian company Research in Motion, uses the same wireless data transmission infrastructure as do cell phones. The reason for the BlackBerry becoming so widely adopted was its email capabilities.

RIM even offers the BlackBerry email service for non-BlackBerry devices like the Palm Treo, thanks to the BlackBerry Connect software. BlackBerry phones now feature a color display, unlike older models.

More than just a cell phone, the BlackBerry has PDA-style applications such as calendars, address books and so on, but it is most highly prized for its ability to send and receive email anywhere a wireless network may be accessed. Even better, the BlackBerry features a QWERTY keypad to make it far easier to send email than with many other handheld devices. The scroll ball makes navigation a breeze – some BlackBerry models even feature PTT (push to talk) capabilities, like a walkie-talkie.

The BlackBerry is great for the needs of business people. They are filled with useful, cutting edge features and use the latest technologies. These are some of the reasons why the BlackBerry is the number one handheld phone, but there are others.

Besides the obvious attractions of the latest technology and features, the BlackBerry has a sleek look and can be used to cover many of the tasks which a business person needs to take care of while on the go. The BlackBerry’s GRPS and EDGE technologies, along with a great web browser, keeps you connected no matter where you may be.

BlackBerry phones also include document viewing software which lets you keep on top of things by viewing and editing all of your important files. Many formats can be viewed and edited – some models also come with a document editing solution which lets you work on nearly any type of file.

BlackBerry phones are the most popular phones because of their full set of business and entertainment features (like the Blackberry Storm). If you want a phone that can do it all, it’s time you thought about a BlackBerry.

Video conferencing problems picture quality

Filed under Software Development by on April 1, 2011 at 3:09 pm {no comments}

A video conference technology is a great way for a business to do more business with other companies, as well as improve their overall cost for expenses when traveling. Simply because the video conference can eliminate the need for traveling to these other areas for business.

This is why the majority of companies today are turning towards video conferencing as a way of business. In fact, it is becoming a common thing in most businesses that those who are just starting up consider mandatory.

There are many technical issues that people have with video conferencing technology, however, the good news is that most of these issues are easily fixed if the person realizes what is going on. One of the most common complaints is poor picture quality, and when this happens those that are on the receiving end of this picture may feel a bit out of touch during the conference, thus the person should make sure that they fix this problem.

One of the best ways to see if you can fix the picture quality yourself is to zoom the lens out and refocus. Many times the problem is simply that the video input is not correctly angled at those in the room or that the zoom is so close that the person appears blurry on the screen. If this does not fix it, most suggest that you turn off the video input device that you are using, whether it be a video camera or a web cam and leave this off for a few seconds.

This usually helps the device to go back to what is considered standard, and once the person turns it back on, they have a perfect picture once again.

For those times in which this does not seem to have, the person should consider the lighting in the room. Many times if there is sunlight in the room, people are on the receiving end are going to see the person lighter and brighter than what they really are and this can lead to a distorted image. Other times, the lighting in the room that is used, such as fluorescent lighting can also affect the image that people are seeing. Simply, adjust the lighting until those on the receiving end are getting a true picture.
