    DESPERATE dad Leroy Smith resorted to Google with the request "how to deliver a baby" when his wife went into labour.
    He was so clueless when wife Emma suddenly started to give birth at home he opted to use the internet.

    Mr Smith called a midwife for advice but before she arrived Emma, 25, began having powerful contractions.

    So the 29-year-old grabbed hold of his BlackBerry, accessed the internet and sought help from search engine Google for step-by-step instructions.

    And after following the detailed guide on internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia Emma safely gave birth to daughter 6lb 11oz Mahalia Merita Angela Smith.

    BirthBerry saves the day.
    The right tool can save the day. I can't count the number of times the BB has saved my bacon, even if in a less dramatic fashion.

    Jolly well to the new Dad.

    There's an app for that!

    Well maybe not yet but that should give a developer an idea.

    No other phone besides a BB can access the internet. This situation could have ONLY been accomplished with a BB.....

    That is great, glad he had his BB around to come to the rescue! I'd be completely freaking out, but I hear Blackberry has a calming affect on people. =P
