The BlackBerry is a SmartPhone that seems virtually designed for the busy broker, Realtor and agent, with plenty of customizable features and support for downloadable applications that can make your life a lot easier while you’re on the road.

They generally upload pictures of listings, make contacts, find out more about their clients’ needs and involve themselves in the thriving real estate communities that Facebook supports. Facebook.com.

4. Twitter

Another app that one might think is more suited to leisure time, Twitter actually improves search engine optimization and could become an agent’s best friend as far as Google is concerned. A carefully optimized Twitter page could net you a following and clients. Updating from your BlackBerry takes seconds. Twitter.com.

How does a Blackberry Work

How does a blackberry work? Some people may be confused or overwhelmed when it comes to using a blackberry. Other people wonder about how exactly does a blackberry work? Blackberry cellular phones use “Push” technology. The original Blackberry was the first wireless device to boast the new push technology at the time. So now you might be asking what exactly is push technology about?

Push technology lets you automatically download e-mail, news, and other updates instead of having to manually download anything. For instance, if you receive an e-mail on your e-mail account your Blackberry will automatically download the e-mail for you. This is a great convenience since you don’t have to do any work. Push technology is related to RSS feeds. The term RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS feeds are used frequently on PCs. Internet users can request to subscribe to RSS feeds from websites. This means that every time a website has new content you will be notified of this new content.

In essence, Blackberry wireless devices make use of these RSS feeds and that is how content is automatically downloaded to your blackberry. Push technology works in context with Blackberry’s own server, known as the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). The Blackberry device continually synchronizes itself with this server in order for it to recognize any change in downloadable content (e.g. e-mail).

At this moment in time Blackberry is the only mobile phone company to offer push technology. Many people involved in the world of business are very fond of Blackberry wireless devices because of being able to access e-mail, internet, and other content. Is a blackberry for you? You decide!
