I need to get some information and who better to ask - than my brilliant friends here at TVCH

Okay, a friend of mine wants to buy a gift for somebody - she wants to get a Blackberry - I am not sure how it works, is it a separate device? is it a phone? Does it get hooked up to your cell phone? I am lost. I told her I would help her, but I am clueless as well.
Also, need recommendations about which one to get, and what it does.

I support two Blackberry's here at work...one for our Pres..and one for our Director of Sales.

They both use them differently...but mostly for email. The Pres uses his for phone and email and he kept his number. Sales mainly uses hers for email, and hasn't activated the phone part.

Its really cool. Its like a tiny computer in your hand that can also be your phone. I find the buttons a bit small and you will need training to use it. Its not that easy to figure out on your own unless you are really savvy with these kind of devices. The good news is, I've found the tech support at Verizon to be EXCELLENT on the Blackberry. They've helped me a lot.

One problem with the Pres'. Sometimes he is in a bad zone and the email drops off. We have to remove the battery and then put it back in and he's good to go. But that's the only glitch I've come across so far. Both the pres and DOS LOVE THEM.
