Your BlackBerry services will function just as if you’re connected to the mobile network.

Unlike traditional mobile phones, BlackBerry 8800 Series smartphones can be centrally managed and supported by IT departments. Remote address book look-up, single mailbox integration and push delivery of data from corporate applications are just a few of the features available.
