Introducci´on Aunque parezca mentira, todo comenz´oen 1999 con un busca que la empresa RIM, canadiense, lanz´oal mercado y que ya nos ofrec´ıa lo que luego se convertir´ıaen los pilares de esta compa~n´ıa:organiza- dor, calendario, correo BlackBerry, y acceso inal´ambrico a Internet (WAP). Fue una aut´entica revoluci´on. Luego ya le siguieron modelos que se acercan m´asa los modelos ac- tuales. Se le fueron a~nadiendo nuevas funcionalidades, se actualizaba el dise~nosin grandes novedades y se ampliaba de manera r´apidael n´umerode usuarios. Uno de los momentos m´asimportantes en la historia de las Black- berry lleg´ocon la entrada del modelo Blackberry Pearl, primer equi- po claramente enfocado al ´ambito personal y no tan profesional. La c´amarade fotos o el reproductor de m´usica,que se hab´ıanobviado hasta entonces, adquieren una importancia mayor. La ausencia de la famosa rueda lateral, que en un principio causa verdaderos traumas, se sustituye por la no menos famosa ya perla. 1.1. Origen del Nombre { BlackBerry (mora): De RIM le debe su nombre a que en 2001 contrat´oa una empresa consultora de marcas llamada Lexicon Branding, y cuentan que RIM solicit´oque la palabra elegida para la marca tuviera impl´ıcitala palabra \email", pero fueron disua- didos por la consultora de que se asociar´ıacon trabajo, y eso no ser´ıaagradable para muchos. El equipo de Lexicon estuvo barajando varias posibilidades has- ta que al final se eligi´oBlackberry por el color de esta fruta y la similitud de las teclas del dispositivo. Adem´asde que el nombre no se asociar´ıacon trabajo.[1] 5 1.2. Historia Research in Motion Limited (RIM), una compa~niaCanadiense con base en Waterloo, Ontario, Canada y fundada por Mike Lizari- dis y Jim Balsillie, es quien le da vida a lo que hoy en dia conocemos como BlackBerry. A pesar de que los equipos BlackBerry est´anen el mercado desde 1996 no fue hasta principios de los a~nos2000 que empezaron a tener popularidad. En aquel momento a Research in Motion le tom´o5 a~nos llegar al mill´onde usuarios, luego 10 meses llegar al segundo mill´on. El tercer mill´onllego 6 meses luego para Mayo de 2005. Un a~nom´as tarde hab´ıanllegado a los 5 millones. Para el 2007 ya totalizaban 14 millones de usuarios. El pasado 30 de mayo de 2009, RIM anunci´oun total de 28.5 millones de usuarios.[2] 6 1.3. Evoluci´onde Blackberry Comenz´ocon un \busca" Serie 850 El primer modelo de la familia fue el 850, que en realidad era un buscapersonas. En 1999, la ´epoca de internet de AOL y apenas estaba implantada la telefon´ıa m´ovil,pero la necesidad de una mano de obra menos dependiente de un puesto de trabajo fijo hizo que este aparato empezara a cobrar sentido, ofrec´ıaun organizador, calendario, correo BlackBerry, y ac- ceso inal´ambrico a Internet (WAP). Como curiosidad el dispositivo s´oloten´ıados pilas, y en 2005, PC World lo eligi´ocomo el gadget no14 de los ´ultimos50 a~nos. Figura 1. Blackberry Serie 850 La Serie 957: La pr´oxima l´ıneade equipos BlackBerry comenz´ocon un dise~nobastante parecido al que conocemos hoy en d´ıa.Un look mas PDA con una pantalla mucho m´asgrande. Estas unidades te- nian baterias de litio recargables, memoria de 4MB / 8MB Flash y 512KB / 1MB de SRAM. Este modelo fue el primero en incorporar la capacidad de tener hasta 10 cuentas de email configuradas en un mismo equipo. Hasta este momento, estas unidades trabajaban en una red cono- cida como Mobitex. Esta red nunca fue desarrollada en otros paises. 7 Figura 2. blackberry 957 BlackBerry 5810(2002) La primera BlackBerry con un tel´efono incorporado, con las mismas funciones de sus antecesoras. Con so- porte Java, no tuvieron especial ´exito. Figura 3. blackberry 5810 BlackBerry 6210 (2004) Incorpor´ouna rueda de desplazamiento en el lado, conservando el teclado QWERTY y la pantalla mono- crom´atica.Soportaba aplicaciones en Java, con programas b´asicosy las primeras .aplicaciones", incluso para escuchar m´usica.[3] 8 Figura 4. blackberry 6210 BlackBerry 7250 (2005) Las versiones CDMA continuaron en la serie 7200 (con pantalla a color) con la 7250 (en la imagen siguiente). Fue adem´asel primer modelo de BlackBerry con Bluetooth. En este punto, los dispositivos se iban realizando para las dos redes, GSM y CDMA, utilizado estos ´ultimos la nomenclatura XX50 para ser diferenciados. Los 7270 fueron los primeros dispositivos wifi de la compa~n´ıay los 7500 ten´ıansoporte para la red iDEN de Motorola, destacando el 7520 con GPS integrado. Figura 5. blackberry 7250. 9 BlackBerry Charm 7100 (2004) Si por algo se distinguen las BlackBerry es por su teclado completo QWERTY, sin embargo, hay personas que encuentran estas terminales un poco voluminosos, por lo que decidieron crear SureType, un teclado con dos letras por te- cla (reduciendo el tama~nodel aparato). El primer modelo con esta carater´ısticafue el 7100t, puesto a la venta por T-Mobile a finales de 2004. A partir del 7100t surgieron versiones CDMA e iDEN. SureType termin´ode despegar en 2006 con el lanzamiento de la BlackBerry Pearl. El gran avance que acompa~n´oa la Pearl fue un trackball. La Perl era lo suficientemente peque~nacomo para iniciar este experimento, ya que es posible operar el trackball mientras man- tienes el dispositivo en una mano. Figura 6. blackberry 7100. BlackBerry Pearl 8100 (2006) La rueda de desplazamiento se traslada al centro, marcando un cambio en los futuros modelos de la empresa. El original Pearl estaba dise~nadopara redes GSM, pero a fines de 2007, con el Pearl 8130 di´osoporte a redes CDMA. Poco despu´es, han ido apareciendo modelos como la 8110 con GPS, o la 8120 con Wifi. 10 Figura 7. blackberry 8100. La familia 8000 Antes del ´exitode la Pearl, y cuando el mundo se estaba llenando de Smartphones, BlackBerry golpe´oel merca- do con otra serie, la 8700. Dispositivos de aspecto elegante, que se dieron a conocer en noviembre de 2005, y ayud´oa RIM a llegar a la cifra de 5 millones de usuarios en marzo de 2006. Hay tres modelos en la serie 8700, uno para redes GSM con EDGE, una para redes GSM sin EDGE (UMTS en el Reino Unido, Italia, Hong Kong y Singapur, W-CDMA en Jap´on),y otra para las redes de CDMA EVDO. El 12 de febrero de 2007, se present´ola serie 8800. Es la prime- ra BlackBerry convencional con trackball, tendr´ıa version CDMA que ser´ıallamada

  • (“Blackberry”), Readings
    Name: ........................................................................................................ ID: ............................................. Section: Analytical Report (“BlackBerry”), Readings Company profiled: [Text 1] How Blackberry Fell By Vauhini Vara, August 12, 2013 The New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how‐blackberry‐fell From 1998 onwards, many businesses and governments brought BlackBerry phones for their staff and employees. Shares peaked in BlackBerry at $263 in 2007. This was the point in time when Apple introduced the first iPhone. Following the iPhone’s launch, BlackBerry executives decided to let Apple focus on the consumer smartphone market while it would rely on the business and government markets. Between 1990 and 2005, BlackBerry was one of the world’s most innovative builders of email communications gadgets. The company was founded in 1984 by two engineering students, Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin. However, the story between 2007 and 2013 was one of missed opportunities. First, the company failed to recognize that the iPhone was a direct competitor. In addition, it ignored the threat of low-cost smartphone competitors in Asia. By 2009, the “consumerisation” of business technology began (BlackBerry failed to realise this). When BlackBerry phone users finished work, they then picked up their iPhones to use at home. This is because iPhones were easier and more fun to use. Soon, people wanted to use their iPhones at work as well as at home. Businesses then realised that workers would be more productive if they could choose which brand of phone to use at work. Following this, the shift from BlackBerry to the iPhone started to grow. By the time BlackBerry realized it needed to reach consumers directly, it was too late.

  • Hearing Aid Compatibility with Blackberry Smartphones
    Hearing Aid Compatibility with BlackBerry Smartphones About hearing aid compatibility Several BlackBerry smartphones have received certification from the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stating that the smartphones meet the hearing aid compatibility requirements. BlackBerry smartphones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than wireless devices that are not rated. M4 is the higher of the two ratings. BlackBerry smartphones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more compatible with a hearing device's telecoil (T-coil, T Switch, or Telephone Switch) than wireless devices that are not rated. T4 is the higher of the two ratings. Not all hearing devices have telecoils in them. Results might vary depending on the hearing device and the degree of hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you might not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. The best way to evaluate compatibility of your hearing device and a rated wireless device is to test the devices together and consult with your hearing health professional. For more information about hearing aid compatibility, see the Description of Hearing Aid Compliance Ratings booklet at http://www.blackberry.com/accessibility. Hearing aid compatibility ratings The following table lists BlackBerry smartphones rated for hearing aid compatibility and their respective M and T ratings.

  • 1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of Blackberry in 1984, Mike Lazaridis
    1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of blackberry In 1984, Mike Lazaridis founded an electronics and computer science consulting company called Research In Motion (RIM). For years the company focused on a breakthrough technology, which they called it as the ―BlackBerry‖. It is an easy, secure, and effective device that allowed users to send and receive e-mails while away from the office. Since email had become so popular, people who were on the go needed a way to access their email without having to find a computer. RIM grew into one of the world‘s most valuable tech companies. The BlackBerry became the indispensable accessory of business executives, heads of state, and Hollywood celebrities. The first BlackBerry smart phone was developed in 2003 and in a remarkably short time, they have managed to completely change the way that people communicate. This was a device that not only functioned as a telephone but also allowed for the sending or receiving of email and text messages as well as web browsing. RIM‘s BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) instant messaging service is once popular before. The plan of BBM was to push wireless carriers to adopt as a replacement for their short text messaging system (SMS) applications. 1.2 Current competitive position Since the introduction of the BlackBerry, there was a lot of competitors have appeared on the market and now they are competing with some of the biggest companies in the telecommunications industry. This competition combined with improving technology has resulted in a huge increase in the number of functions that you will find on your BlackBerry.
