What’s the difference between a Blackberry and a smartphone?
A sub[-editor] asked me this question just now.
“Well,” I began. “The Blackberry…”
What? Doesn’t make phone calls? Yes it does. Can do email and browse the web? A smartphone can too.
I stopped talking. Fortunately, he only wanted to know what the difference in appearance was. Anyway, I figured out that the difference is that the Blackberry has a dedicated keyboard on the front.
At least I think that’s the difference, if there really is one at all. Anyone from Blackberry care to comment?

Does a smartphone have push mail? Blackberry does.
