Blackberry Curve cell phone models have been designed to satisfy the common, everyday individual, in addition to business professionals. With the ability to play music, take photos and videos, support gameplay, and host multiple social media platforms, the Curve can please most tech-savvy users.
From a business standpoint, the features provided by the Blackberry Curve have become assets to most professionals and business owners. In addition to having the ability to access multiple email accounts, users can synchronize their email with the server at work and reply to business emails on the go. Blackberries also contain the network frequencies of international towers, so business professionals can travel around the globe while staying connected to work.
Read on to learn more about the many ways you can use and customize your Blackberry Curve device for business purposes.
Synchronize with Corporate Email
Contact the IT department within your professional workplace to receive the username and password information for your business’ Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). The BES will allow you to access corporate email and calendar events directly from your Blackberry device.
Travel Internationally with your Blackberry
Consult with your wireless service provider to verify that your Blackberry plan provides you with the opportunity to roam on international cell phone towers. All Blackberry Curve devices have multiple built-in frequencies that are compatible with most international locations; however, some wireless service providers may require you to activate the international roaming feature, especially if you need access to data and Internet while traveling.
Instant Message your Co-Workers
Send and receive messages with your co-workers using Blackberry Messenger. The Blackberry Messenger service allows you to connect with other Blackberry users in real-time, and does not require you to release your Blackberry phone number to other co-workers and Blackberry users.
Use your Blackberry as a Modem
Connect your Blackberry Curve to your computer or laptop for use as a modem. The Internet and data capabilities built into the Curve allow users to connect the device to a computer, and receive connectivity in most locations around the world. Refer to the user manual for your Blackberry device to determine the exact steps for achieving connectivity on your computer using your phone as a modem.
Organize your Messages using Folders
Separate and organize your emails and text messages into their own folders. By default, most Blackberry devices combine all message types in the same messaging folder; however, you still have the ability to create new folders and keep your messaging folder organized.
– To separate your emails and text messages from one another, navigate to your Messages folder, press the Menu button, and select “Options.” You will then have the ability to choose “Separate” within “SMS and Email Inboxes” and keep your incoming messages in order.
In addition to the steps provided above, there are multiple other ways to customize your Blackberry Curve in order to make it suitable for both business, and pleasure.

Here’s more good economic news.
U.S. factory output surged in December by the most in any month in 2011, offering the most visible evidence yet that manufacturing is roaring back from the recession’s depths even as declining prices at the wholesale level shows inflation remains in check, according to two reports out Wednesday.
Stronger demand for business equipment, vehicles and energy drove the 0.9% increase in manufacturing output, the biggest monthly increase since December 2010. And a larger portion of U.S. factories were operating, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday in a report on the nation’s industrial production.
Overall output of the nation’s factories, mines and utilities grew 0.4% in December although warm weather dampened demand for energy produced by utilities.
Industrial output is now less than 5% below its pre-recession peak, reached in September 2007. It has increased more than 14% since hitting a recession low in June 2009.
We’re seeing improvement in the job numbers as well, so hopefully we’re now on a positive business cycle.
The news from Chrysler and the US auto industry keeps getting better. Here are some updates:
-it plans to add 1,100 jobs at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit by to build a diesel version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee
-In 2011, Chrysler’s sales increased 26.2% — the most of any major automaker
-Last month, Chrysler announced plans to reopen its Conner Avenue Assembly Plant to build the 2013 SRT Viper. That plant was idled in 2010. About 150 will be employed at that plant.
What we’re seeing is further evidence that the auto bailout was a huge success. It’s contributing to the overall rebound of the US manufacturing industry.
Also, Chrysler is making better cars. Sergio Marchionne is a great CEO. He saved Fiat and now he’s doing the same with Chrysler.
Has it really been ten years since the Euro was introduced?
When the euro was introduced just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2002, celebratory fireworks exploded above the European Central Bank headquarters in Frankfurt. The historic bridge the Pont Neuf in Paris was lit up in European Union blue with 12 rays of light to symbolize the 12 nations circulating the euro — as people in those countries lined up at A.T.M.’s to get their hands on new bills that would be daily reminders of the project of European integration and unity.
Ten years later, the word “euro” in a headline is usually paired with the word “crisis.” Instead of hosting celebrations for the 10-year anniversary, policy makers appear to be staying as quiet as possible, as if hoping not to upset the brief calm that has come with the holiday season after European central bankers injected nearly $640 billion into the European banking system in December.
Will Europe get its act together? The recent events in Italy have to be encouraging. Let’s see if the austerity can be sustained.
