Speed The BlackBerry despite having the ability to run multiple applications, may experience a clogging down of the processor speed when a lot of the programs are open at the same time. This can cause problems when you are streaming video and music from the Internet, especially when the network is not fast. Lack of radio tuner Most BlackBerry smartphones do not have an in-built radio tuner. When a lot of applications are running on the BlackBerry, it may not realize when there is an incoming call, which will automatically send the call to the voice mail without ringing on the phone.
