I always avoid pluralizing the single word and prefer the added ‘handhelds’ or ‘devices’ when referring to more than one.

Of course the above poster is actually correct, and the proper way is to call them BlackBerry devices, thus sidestepping the whole problem.

The proper way to refer to multiple devices is BlackBerry handhelds (or devices/smartphones/etc).
