What is a BlackBerry?
The BlackBerry is a pocket-sized device that gives a user a constant wireless connection to their Exchange-based email. It also functions as a personal information manager. It has syncing capabilities for the Exchange calendar, contacts, memos and tasks, as well as added pager-like functionality. This tool does not use an auto-forwarding rule to send email from your regular mailbox to some other place, but actually hooks into your NIH-sponsored mailbox for sending and receiving messages. When the user sends a message from the BlackBerry, it is placed in the sent items for future viewing. They can file messages in their account-based folders. It truly is an extension of the user's mailbox that can travel anywhere in the United States. Some models are useful overseas as well. You can find more information about BlackBerry at www.blackberry.net.
