With Blackberry revolutionising the boardrooms and corporates, now more handset makers are looking at sharing the pie with a new line up of phones, designed to meet the requirements of the 'technosmart' executives.
The phones combine the latest technology, with sleek appearance and are loaded with features. The X-factor is added when the prices are made affordable to reach a larger audience.
A converged mobile device has morphed into mini-computers that serve not only as digital day-timers and address books, but also help in taking notes, web surfing, and provide access to e-mails as well.
A few years ago, Blackberry was more or less a geek organiser, a strictly-for-work device, which was very expensive.
But today, Nokia, Treo, O2, Dopod, Motorola, iMate and others have usurped Blackberry from its Numero Uno throne, while adding the look good factor as well to these devices.
