Blackberry RIM 957 : It looks like a PDA, but the BlackBerry RIM 957 is really a pager

RIM (Research In Motion) introduced the BlackBerry 957 in April of 2000. At its release, it was little more than an overgrown 950.

It looks like a PDA, but the BlackBerry RIM 957 is really a pager—what Research In Motion (RIM) calls a “two-way messenger device.” As a convenient way to receive and send pages and e-mail wirelessly, the RIM 957 is an excellent choice. It uses the same Cingular Interactive (formerly Bell South Wireless Data) 900-MHz Mobitex network that Palm.net uses for Palm VII devices.

The RIM 957 is such a great messaging device that you may forget it’s not a PDA—or, for that matter, you might not even care. The first version of the RIM 957 worked only with Exchange servers, but this version can gain access to messages, e-mail, and content directly.

RIM Wireless Handhelds include the most advanced wireless technology allowing you to send and receive e-mail from the palm of your hand. Creating and retrieving information is amazingly simple using the optimized keyboard, thumb-operated trackwheel, easy-to-read backlit screen and intuitive menu-driven interface. With RIM Wireless Handhelds you don't need to retrieve your e-mail. Your e-mail finds you. No dialing-in. No initiating connections. No antennas to rise. No effort required. The handhelds are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new e-mail arrives. Now you can easily stay in touch with your colleagues and clients while you're on the go.BlackBerry Internet Edition is designed to allow leading service providers to offer an end-to-end wireless e-mail solution with single mailbox integration. The BlackBerry solution includes a choice of powerful RIM Wireless Handhelds with integrated e-mail/organizer software, PC docking cradle, PC synchronization software and affordable airtime. BlackBerry allows mobile users to access their e-mail and personal organizer wherever they go.

With this capability, the phone switches automatically between CDMA and GSM networks to offer se

amless international roaming--all while keeping the same phone number. In addition to voice coverage, the BlackBerry Tour supports the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA band, so you can get 3G support overseas, while working on Verizon's EV-DO Rev. A network domestically. In all, you'll get voice coverage in 220 countries and data coverage (e-mail and Internet) in 175 countries. Be sure to check the international roaming rates for voice calls and text messages before you head off on your trip.

Blackberry RIM 850 : as a two-way mobile pager

BlackBerry first made headway in the marketplace by concentrating on e-mail. RIM currently offers BlackBerry e-mail service to non-BlackBerry devices, such as the Palm Treo, through the BlackBerry Connect software. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but all current models have color displays.

The first BlackBerry device was introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager.

BlackBerry is a line of mobile e-mail and smartphone devices developed by Canadian company Research In Motion (RIM)

The reason for the monumental growth is easily explainable. See, the first model was the one pictured, the 850. As you can see, it was little more than a mobile pager. It did integrate with existing enterprise email, though. Still, 1998 was still in the era of the AOL Internet, so most consumers didn’t really have a need for a mobile email device. Cell phones in general weren’t even big in the consumer market at that point, so the need for a wireless PDA was expectedly lacking. But it did provide corporate data access, an organizer, calendar, paging, and wireless Internet, so it was of great use to businesses who wanted a more mobile workforce. In 2005, PC World called the 850 the 14th greatest gadget of the past 50 years.

Nokia 8110 : 'Banana' phone As used in the 'Matrix' film

The Nokia 8146 is a veritable antique in handset terms but a great many are still in use and more are probably lingering in the back of drawers or cupboards having been replaced by the next new thing.

The nokia 8110 is one of the best looking mobile phones around. It has the famous chrome surface and is easily small and light enough to carry around easily - you hardly know the phone is there.

It features an ‘active slide’, which means that calls can be answered or terminated by opening or closing the sliding cover. It has a small fixed antenna (about 25mm long). Physically it has a curved shape that gave the handset its nickname - the banana phone. The phone has a keypad slider which protects the keys, although it does get scratched easily. So, the phone looks good but how does it preform? Well, the phone has all the features you could ever want including a personal planner, a calculator and some games. One of the only bad things about this phone is that the battery is NIMH and provides poor

standby and talk time. The phone is not dual band either. The menu is easy to use and all this put together makes this a great phone, its expensive but its worth it!
