BlackBerry Operating System

BlackBerry Operating System

Research In Motion (RIM) provides a proprietary multi-tasking operating system (OS) for the BlackBerry. From 1995-2006, the BlackBerry used the scroll wheel and more recently the trackball to navigate. The operating system provides support for Java MIDP 1.0 and WAP 1.2.

Previous versions permitted wireless synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server's e-mail and calendar, as well as with Lotus Domino's e-mail. The current operating system 4 provides a subset of MIDP 2.0, and allows complete wireless activation and synchronization with Exchange's e-mail, calendar, tasks, notes and contacts. It also adds support for Novell GroupWise and Lotus Notes.
