BlackBerry’s are not dead, especially when you have a hospital system that has been using the mobile smart phones as part of their plan for a few years. We have a lot of choices today and granted others such as the Iphone and Ipad are moving in to a lot of new areas, but even with bringing in new devices it’s time to call the IT folks in and set up new security, etc. BlackBerry is still considered a very secure form of communication and depending on the networking and services in place, it still could stand to be a preferred methodology. I particularly like this video as it shows some real phone screens and samples of the information and format that are used on the smart phones.
