The BlackBerry® 7130e puts top-of-the-line features, such as speakerphone, Bluetooth® technology and polyphonic ring tones, into a sleek and stylish handset.Ev-DO technology* for the BlackBerry 7130e offers a rich wireless experience, with fast email, application and browser speeds. It even lets you connect your laptop or PC to the Internet, using the device as a tethered modem — so you don’t need to carry a wireless PC card.

Sprint together with Nextel has added the BlackBerry 7130e to its latest mobile lineup. The new BlackBerry sports the companies recent change to black and silver as a style to replace the perhaps dated black and blue plain plastic cases that adorned the older familiar Blackberries that we grew to like so much, I know we liked them because we bought them in droves; over four million in service worldwide.In addition to new overalls the 7130e boasts access to Sprint’s (not Nextel really) CDMA powered EV-DO data network; what does that mean? Access to downloads at speeds of over 700Kbps; that’s broadband territory… on a phone… but what’s better than that? Sprint will happily let you use that with your laptop as long as you get their USB connecting cable (no Bluetooth) and that’s rather nice.

The device comes with 64mb of flash memory and 16MB of SRAM. You can store countless emails on the BlackBerry, which is very convenient for IT departments as well as corporate. The 7130e does NOT support TXT or PIX messaging, which to most of your BlackBerry users is not a huge deal. Hands down the BlackBerry 7130e is a GREAT device and I would recommend it to any one that does not have the money for the Pearl  The 7130e can do all the standard communication options, including SMS and e-mail, and yes, that includes always-on push e-mail. It also comes equipped with RIM’s proprietary BlackBerry Instant Messenger, which lets you contact other BlackBerry users either from your portable device or your home computer, when linked up to it.

The 7130e, in addition to throwing in the cookie-cutter BlackBerry features, also has some great productivity abilities that really augment what the BlackBerry name is all about. First let’s take a look at some of the standard options. Included are a calendar, to-do-list, and memo pad, which brings up an important point – the text entry. The interface is a little bit different than most phones. It’s a QWERTY keyboard, but there are two letters on each key, so it feels like typing on a regular phone, but without the alphabetical placement of letters. It takes some getting used to, but it works out alright, especially because the predictive text works a lot better when you don’t have three possible letters for each keystroke.

The BlackBerry® 7130g smartphone offers complete BlackBerry® smartphone functionality and puts top-of-the-line features — such as speakerphone, Bluetooth® technology instant messaging and polyphonic and MP3 ring tones — into a stylish, lightweight, phone-style device.Browsing the web, viewing attachments and running applications is faster than ever, thanks to a combination of state-of-the-art technologies, including the latest high-speed wireless networks and a powerful processor. You’ll be wowed by the sleek design, fast performance, light-sensing screen and more.

The first thing that I noticed about the 7130g is that it looks good. Whereas previous BlackBerry handsets looked pretty dull and work-like, it looks like RIM considered design as well as functionality with the 7130g. Finished in matt black and silver, the 7130g looks pretty sleek and stylish – OK, it’s not going to win any beauty contests when compared to a Motorola V3 RAZR or a Nokia 8800, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction from RIM.

The BlackBerry 7130g measures 115 x 56 x 18 mm which is a slim & neat size considering all of the mobile technologies packed into its casing.

The BlackBerry® 7100i smartphone offers complete BlackBerry® smartphone functionality and puts top-of-the-line features — such as push-to-talk long-range digital walkie-talkie, speakerphone, Bluetooth® technology, GPS support for location-based services and polyphonic ringtones — into a sleek and stylish device.

Sprint Nextel is helping itself to another slice of BlackBerry pie with the addition of RIM’s BlackBerry 7100i. The first of the 7100 series to make its debut on Nextel’s iDEN network, the 7100i’s design and feature set is similar to that of its siblings; it has a slim form factor, a great display, and a quasi-QWERTY keyboard with SureType technology. Yet, it also offers some new tricks–most notably support for Nextel’s walkie-talkie services–that when coupled with the BlackBerry’s push e-mail technology makes the 7100i a great device for on-the-go professionals. Plus, with a QWERTY keyboard, the 7100i is easier to use than the Nextel i930 by Motorola. Finally, at $199.99 after rebates, the BlackBerry 7100i is a good deal.

Measuring 119 x 59 x 21 mm and weighing 120 g, the BlackBerry 7100i is much easier to carry than the blue boxy BlackBerry of the past. Resembling more of a standard handheld, the angled lines and sleek looks are a definite improvement.Featuring a large 240 x 260 px screen, the 7100i is capable of displaying 65K colors. Much of the reason RIM was able to condense the bulk was using a reduced size QWERTY keypad. Located below easy-to-use Send, End, and Convenience keys, a 20 button keypad provides quick one-touch typing. Using RIM’s SureType predictive technology, consumers can text message as if they were on a full-sized keyboard.

For email, the Blackberry continues to integrate with server based business account systems running MS Exchange, IBM, and Novell solutions. For personal accounts, Blackberry Internet Services allows remote integration with MS Outlook, Lotus Notes and other applications. Attachments are no problem, and many software formats are supported, including MS Office, Corel Word Perfect, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and many graphics and image file formats. The idea is to have your work and personal correspondence easily reached from remote locations with a small but versatile wireless tool.

The BlackBerry® 7100g offers complete BlackBerry® smartphone functionality and puts top-of-the-line features — such as speakerphone, Bluetooth® technology, polyphonic ring tones and an advanced call log — into a sleek and stylish device.

Hoping to attract the more casual user, RIM launched the BlackBerry 7100t a few months ago; with a new streamline design fit for the 21st century. At the time, Cingular consumers lusted after T-Mobile’s BlackBerry 7100t, but with the launch of the new BlackBerry 7100g, Cingular users are able to share in improved designs.The BlackBerry 7100g offers a fully functional cell phone with many added features all wrapped up in a chic and sleek form. Users can take advantage of all of the benefits presented by this practical unit. The unit fits comfortably in hand and offers quick and easy access to information, contacts and entertainment.

The RIM BlackBerry 7100g’s 2.1-inch, 65,000-color-plus screen is easy on the eyes with plenty of detail, thanks to its 240×260-pixel resolution. You can change the font size and style, as well as switch on antialiasing to smooth the rough edges of characters on the screen, but we disliked the fact that the 7100g’s display goes completely dark when the backlighting turns off. In standby mode, the main screen shows signal strength, battery life, the time, the date, caller ID info, and a mail icon that notifies you of unread messages. Unlike the nice-looking, icon-driven menu of the 7100t, the 7100g’s main menu appears only in list mode, which is unfortunate but not a deal breaker.

The RIM BlackBerry 7100g comes with a well-balanced meal of phone basics. The phone book handles as many entries as will fit in its 32MB of onboard RAM (the SIM card can hold an additional 250 contacts), and there’s room in each entry for eight numbers, home and work addresses, Web pages, and more. You also get a speakerphone, which you can engage only once you’re on a call; a calendar; task and to-do lists; a memo pad; a WAP wireless Web browser; an alarm; and a calculator. Some unexpected extras include the ability to search the 7100g’s messages, calendar, address book, memo pad, and tasks, either individually or all at once; there’s also a detailed help section. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth-enabled phone only supports wireless headsets, so if you’re looking for Bluetooth file transfers or syncing, you’re out of luck.

The BlackBerry® 7250 Wireless Handheld gives you quick, convenient access to all your wireless communication needs. You’ll get a superior wireless email and application experience, combined with built-in phone features, in a single, integrated handheld. With Ev-DO technology*, the BlackBerry® 7250 provides fast email, application and browser speeds. It even lets you connect your laptop or PC to the Internet, using the handheld as a tethered modem— so you don’t need to carry a wireless PC card.

The BlackBerry 7250 takes all of the businesslike features that BlackBerry is famous for and improves. The BlackBerry 7250 is designed for the business or corporate professional. This is quite similar to several other BlackBerry models. The communication facilities in the phone take precedence over the so called fun features that dominate other brands of cell phones. With quality and reliability at the top of their priority list, those that use the BlackBerry line of phones will nit be disappointed by the 7250.

The RIM Blackberry 7250 for Sprint is the first CDMA Blackberry complete with Bluetooth wireless connectivity, making it a must-have for Alltel customers who need a mobile productivity suite. With complete PDA functionality and 14MB of internal memory, this smartphone will manage all your mobile data— push email, HTML info and most file formats. The backlit QWERTY keyboard and the high-resolution display make the dual-band RIM Blackberry 7250 for Sprint a superior buy for the discerning user.

The 7250 also sports a mini-browser that’s pre-set to Telstra’s WAP portal, but if you want to do anything other than BlackBerry-based e-mail you’ll be hooking the unit up to your notebook (using the supplied USB cable) to press-gang it into service as a digital wireless modem. This taps into the same EV-DO network as used by Telstra’s BigPond Wireless Broadband service, delivering between 300-600Kbps in metropolitan areas and throttling back to a still-meritorious 100Kbps over the regional CDMA network.
