WORLD'S FIRST BLACKBERRY
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

What was the world's first Blackberry?

Today you can have your choice of the Blackberry Pearl, Blackberry Storm, or a multitude of other options from Blackberry that will allow you to talk on the phone, browse the Internet, and check your email. It seems that there’s a new kind coming out every day and each one is just a bit better than the last. So with all of these models to choose from, what was the very first Blackberry?

The very first Blackberries were actually devices that were called Inter@ctive Pagers. These models were 2-way pagers that had a built-in keyboard that could be operated with the user’s thumb. They had basic email and browsing capabilities but couldn’t run Java without the addition of a JVM add-on. These could be called the first true Blackberries.

However, if by definition you mean the very first gadget to come out under the Blackberry name, you’ll have to look after 2001 when the early models stopped being manufactured. These mono-chromed Java-based models were the first Blackberries to ever hit the market and the 5000 and 6000 Series were among these first models and there were 5 ‘families’ altogether within the series. The Specialty family was capable of email services only and the Early Java-based family had a phone built-in but it could only be accessed via headset. The Quark was a step up with an integrated phone as well as the 67XX. The 65XX had an integrated phone along with an integrated two-way radio. Although there are 5 different families, they were all released within a fairly short time period, some even at the same time and they can be determined as the world’s first Blackberries.
