Living the Life with Blackberry at a Breeze

This is my official entry to TechPinas.com Gadget Bonanza BlackBerry Power Pair Edition

  "You may delay, but time will not" -Benjamin Franklin.

  How vital is time? Time is life. So if you've wasted your time, it only means, you've wasted your life.

  Effective time management is the basis of good professional habits. It is the process of prioritizing. But for a person with a purpose--businessman, professional or whoever lives with a purpose, everything is important, and for me as a student, time must be well spent. Everyone gets the exact same amount of time each every day, and it depends on how each one spend it. Seeking for better time management, people have switched from laptops to smartphones as it offers portability alongside with usability. As a person of purpose comes the responsibility of being productive and quick to be a better person, if not for every person I care for but at least to myself.

  "People who live for a purpose, these are the people that Blackberry's focused on serving — the Blackberry people." said Thosten Heins.

  Blackberry has been around for several years. It became a standard for QWERTY phones. Many have attempted to mimic the gimmick but none has succeeded the Blackberry. Non-Blackberry users ask, including me, what's special about Blackberry phones? 

  With the very fast pacing of technological revolution, it is very essential to do things fast in the most comfortable and convenient way possible. As a scholar, I must pass projects and modules online on-time.

  Blackberry is really designed for productivity. The Blackberry has the BIS or the Blackberry Internet Service which allows the BB clients to know new incoming e-mails without the hassle of connecting through the network just to check one. The service uses RIM's proprietary push technology which allows real-time access of your e-mail. Some phones have the syncing option that is just time-consuming.

  Under also this revolutionary push technology is the ease of having notifications from your favorite social networking sites right in your home screen without visiting your account frequently. 

  Aside from the usual messaging, comes another bonus feature exclusive to BB owners, the BB messenger, which is the proprietary Instant Messaging Application of BB which is free if you're connected to the BIS. Just like the e-mail and the SNS account, BBM is made real time as it is made possible by the RIM's servers and not from your telecommunications provider.

  There will be definitely no delays on your most important messages. What’s more amazing is its capability of sending pictures, emoticons and files at a breeze between BB users in lightning fast speeds, unlike the MMS wherein both users are required to have a working GPRS Connection and maintaining balance.

Push servers are into direct communication with the BB users. As soon as the content is available, the data will be automatically be “pushed” into the user, contrary to the “pull” type wherein you must be the one to get the data. Blackberry will be the one to serve it for you. How convenient is that!

A secret to its seamless and reliable connection is the compression technology of RIM. Everything downloaded are compressed with no compromise to speed and quality of files downloaded. Because you don’t have the need of going again and again to your browser to check new notifications on your account, practically, push saves the device battery power.

  Who said Blackberry is boring? The BB AppWorld offers thousand of useful apps that are offering utilities and entertainment softwares that provides enjoyment while on-the-go.

Those features being stated only means speed and reliability, thus it only means Blackberry’s unparalleled performance amid the rising of QWERTY phones on other brands.

The superb features of the Blackberry line of phones only testify what it really can do — help to attain your purpose with convenience at the fastest speeds. With fast speeds, I can send e-mails to my classmates in lightning speeds, no more waiting and hassle. I can edit documents on the go without having to bring a bulky laptop. Lastly, I can enjoy with apps to relieve my stress from school. Being a student running for honors, I must pass projects and modules on time, and I believe, I can do that with Blackberry. It is definitely more that the usual IM/messaging/entertainment experience. These things made me realize why people became addicted to the Blackberry. On why should I be interested in the phone brand. A phone that will not disappoint me—the BlackBerry.
