ABSTRACT

A Blackberry is a personal communications device developed, distributed, and


serviced by Research in Motion(RIM), a Canadian company headquartered in
Waterloo, OntarioA .Blackberry can provide email, text messaging, web browsing,
and telephone service. It is an example of a convergent device. A BlackBerry is an
end-to-end wireless email solution that allows access to your Outlook Inbox,
Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks with full wireless synchronization. The BlackBerry
Server constantly communicates with the campus Exchange server (that talks to
Outlook, among other email clients).As soon as something comes into your Outlook
for Exchange email, the BlackBerry server gets a copy and sends it to your device
through the Internet. Your device receives that information through the Internet using
your carrier's preferred network.The process works in reverse when you make
changes on your BlackBerry device that need to be copied into your Outlook account,
e.g., if you send a message that needs to be copied to your Sent items, or if you add a
contact to your Contacts list. The Blackberry can be set up and operated wirelessly
without ever being connected physically to a computer. 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 .

1.1 INTRODUCTION
  A Blackberry is a personal communications device developed, distributed, and
serviced by Research in Motion(RIM), a Canadian company headquartered in
Waterloo, OntarioA .Blackberry can provide email, text messaging, web browsing,
and telephone service. It is an example of a convergent device. A BlackBerry is an
end-to-end wireless email solution that allows access to your Outlook Inbox,
Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks with full wireless synchronization. The BlackBerry
Server constantly communicates with the campus Exchange server (that talks to
Outlook, among other email clients).As soon as something comes into your Outlook
for Exchange email, the BlackBerry server gets a copy and sends it to your device
through the Internet. Your device receives that information through the Internet using
your carrier's preferred network.
The process works in reverse when you make changes on your BlackBerry device that
need to be copied into your Outlook account, e.g., if you send a message that needs to
be copied to your Sent items, or if you add a contact to your Contacts list. The
Blackberry can be set up and operated wirelessly without ever being connected
physically to a computer. 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 . Research in Motion provides the native email system for
the Blackberry. However, RIM has cooperated with Microsoft, IBM, and Novell to
provide full two-way email integration with Outlook, Notes, and GroupWise,
respectively. Standard features on a Blackberry include calendar, tasks, notes, alarm
clock, calculator, and some games. Third party applications can be downloaded to
extend its capability. Some models available from Nextel, Sprint, and maybe other
carriers, provide GPS and cellular “walkie-talkie” service as well. Most Blackberry
are Bluetooth capable, allowing for the use of wireless Bluetooth headsets to handle
telephone calls. Because the Blackberry relies on the cellular telephone network, it is
only available through cell phone carriers .And, like cell phones, each carrier has its
own unique models. The typical cost of a Blackberry is $250-$300

2.1 WHAT IS BLACKBERRY ?

 A Blackberry is a personal communications device developed, distributed, and


serviced by Research in Motion(RIM), a Canadian company headquartered in
Waterloo, OntarioA .Blackberry can provide email, text messaging, web browsing,
and telephone service. It is an example of a convergent device.

A Black Berry is an end-to-end wireless email solution that allows access to your
Outlook Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks with full wireless synchronization.

2.2.1 TWO INTERRELATED FORMS OF BLACKBERRY

I. Blackberry Internet Service


II. Blackberry Enterprise Server.

I. BLACKBERRY INTERNET SERVICE

BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) is an email and synchronization service provided


by RIM for BlackBerry users. It was created for BlackBerry users without an
enterprise email account on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and can be used in
over 90 countries. BIS lets you retrieve email from multiple POP3, IMAP and
Outlook Web App (OWA) on your BlackBerry, as well as synchronize your contacts,
calendar, and deleted items from some email providers  However, BIS is more than
just email; Outlook and Yahoo! Mail users can sync contacts, and Gmail users
can synchronize deleted items, contacts, and calendar.

If you cannot afford a hosted BES account, or if your company does not host a BES,
the BlackBerry Internet Service is a very capable substitute. It does not provide the
same level of security that you will find on a BES, but you can still receive email and
synchronize your contacts and calendar.

II. BLACKBERRY ENTERPRISE SERVER

Black Berry Enterprise Server (or BES) is the backbone of any corporate
deployment of BlackBerry devices. All messages and mail are routed through this
server, and administrators have finely granulated control over employee devices.
Policies dictate which applications and services can be used on a BES-administrated
device, plus they can be remotely locked or wiped when needed.

2.3 HOW IT WORKS?


As we all know, there is always software behind the hardware. Thisholds true for the
blackberry as well. Blackberry Server Software comes in twoforms1. BlackBerry
Professional Software (BPS)2. BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES)The way that the
BlackBerry server works applies to both theBlackBerry Professional Software (BPS)
and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server(BES)The basic steps in receiving an email on a
blackberry device are as follows:l
1. The email message is sent
2. Message arrives at your email server (usually the exchange server) and is sentas
normal to your PC/ Laptop .
3. The BlackBerry server (the mail is delivered using a ―push‖ concept to the
Blackberry Enterprise Server) compresses, encrypts and forwards the message
automatically to your BlackBerry handset.
4. Message arrives at the BlackBerry via the Internet and the mobile carrier’s
network.
5. The Blackberry hand held device receives decrypts and decompresses the email,
and alerts the user.

2.4 SIGNIFICANCES OF BLACKBERRY TECHNOLOGY?

1. Email: BlackBerry provides email accessing facility with its wireless extension.
Normal email activities can be performed without hassles. It remains continuously
connected to the wireless network which enables the user to access email. The mail
will appear on the device without retrieving it.

2. Phone: The BlackBerry hand held has all the features of a mobile. In addition it has
digital walkie-talkie, SIP based IP telephony and also provides headsets with comfort,
clarity and convenience.

3. Wireless Internet: The hand held phone have special features which enables to
browse the internet by clicking and scroll track wheel for navigating the pages and
types the URLs by using QWERTY keyboards.

4. Tethered Modem: Some of the BlackBerry hand held devices are available with
features like speedy wireless services with fast email and browsing experiences. This
device acts as a tethered modem without carrying a wireless PC card.

5. Organizer: The mobile is provided with functionality regarding day to day


activities.

6. SMS: Blackberry devices support the facility of sending and receiving text
messages.

7. Instant Messaging: This feature helps the user for contacting people once they are
connected to the wireless network.

8. Corporate Data Access: Business goals can be achieved with access to the
corporate data, by using wireless connectivity technology.

9. Paging: Some of the BlackBerry models provide paging services to the BlackBerry

users who do not have an email account.

2.5 DRAW BACK OF BLAKCBERRY TECHNOLOGY

I. some times in Blackberry track ball devices, the track ball falls out from the
device because of the very harsh use.
II. If you travel a lot in different countries you need special permission to use
BlackBerry messenger (BBM), because many countries don’t allow BlackBerry
messenger (BBM).
III. Because of the security check software BlackBerry take 5 to 10 minutes to turn
on after unplugging the battery.
IV. The BlackBerry curve and BlackBerry bold are the big, bulky phones. It may not
be able to fit in your pockets.
V. Almost all models have similar utility and features, Minor changes in new
models.

CONCLUSION

A BlackBerry is an end-to-end wireless email solution that allowsaccess to your
Outlook Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks with full wirelesssynchronization. It is
an example of convergent device. It uses push technologyfor internet services. The
BlackBerry has been designed from the ground-up tobe a secure platform. This strict
adherence to security has made the platformvery popular with governments and
corporations worldwide.
