History of Blackberry

What comes to your mind when you hear BlackBerry ? a fruit ? yes, you may right but Blackberry that I'mtalking about is wireless handheld device that has the ability to push e-mail, cellular phones, text messaging,Internet facsimile, Internet browsing, and various other wireless capabilities.

Blackberry was first introduced in 1997 by the Canadian company, Research In Motion (RIM).Founded by a Greek immigrant in the city of Waterloo, Canada. Blackbery advantage is having a very friendly appearance and can always be connected, so wherever you are, you canalways access your email (currently Facebook, blogging, etc etc). Since its launch in 1999,blackberry has grossed more than 8 million customers worldwide.



The founder of Research in Motion, Mike Lazaridis was born in Turkey, built a Lego DSi record player at the age of 4 (four) years, a radio at the age of 5 (five) years, and enrolled at the University of Waterloo. He chose to drop out after winning a contract worth 560 thousand U.S.Dollars.


First, the BlackBerry called Pocket Link,  a name that is functional but boring, then also called Strawberry, because it is similar to strawberries, but it seemed to cute. So-called Blackberry, a familiar name but smart.
