Research in Motion’s (RIM) early attempts at mating its popular wireless e-mail device/PDA with a cell phone didn’t turn out as well as the company had hoped. But the BlackBerry 7210, RIM’s first color-screen model, is a different story. Offered by AT&T Wireless for $449, the 7210, which is largely the same as T-Mobile’s 7230, combines a GSM/GPRS phone, a PDA, and wireless e-mail capabilities in a slim, 4.8-ounce unit that doesn’t require an earbud to talk on. The only potential drawback is AT&T Wireless’s service; if the carrier’s GPRS coverage is not widespread in your area, you’ll have a tough time getting e-mail on the go.
An admirable cell phone we had the chance to review is the RIM BlackBerry 7210, a phone that was conceived to compete a very competitive market. Released around 01/7/2003 the BlackBerry 7210 is supporting the networks GSM 900 / 1900. Measuring only 113 x 74 x 20 mm and weighting only 136 g, this cell phone makes an interesting tool. This cell phone comes with a 960 mAh Li-Ion battery, letting a talk time of 4.00 hours and lasts in standby around 240 hours. Its creators incorporated a 16 MB memory, a good quantity for a regular use! The nice screen of this cell phone lets you insert wallpapers of 240 x 160 pixels.
