Blackberry service - part 1

Everybody knows blackberry is the only device in the world which provide push email service via RIM (Research in Motion). Which you need to pay extra money on top of data charges you paid to your current telco.

There are 2 type of blackberry service. I'll explain them in my other post later.

1. Blackberry Internet Service (BIS)
2. Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES)

I've been using blackberry for more than a year. My first blackberry was Blackberry Storm 9500 I use it just because my company require me to use a blackberry device. So they gave me one. The first months when I started to use it, I was really frustrated because I've never use a blackberry device before.

Why do I feel in such away? Because the virtual keyboard is not so user friendly. That's what I thought in the beginning. Maybe because previously I was Nokia smart phone user. But after a couple of weeks later, I started to get a hang on it.

I kinda like the way RIM provide the push email service via BIS (Blackberry Internet Service). Why? Below are the reason:

Compress email service - this mean I can easily receive my email even using 2G network. I remember last time when I was using Nokia 5800 to read & sending emails, I need 3G service. If the service is not available, I've to wait for long time just to download & read my emails. When using other device beside blackberry, I would have to download all my email content which is quite a big files.
