The Rim Blackberry 7100x
at a Glance:
The BlackBerry
7100x integrates the latest BlackBerry browsing technology providing users
with access to a wide range of rich HTML-based Internet content in full
and vibrant color.
The BlackBerry 7100x
features RIM's breakthrough SureType(TM) keyboard technology that
converges a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit elegantly within the
size constraints of a traditional 'candy bar' phone design.
The integrated keyboard and
software system provides users with an instinctively familiar look and
feel and allows users to dial phone numbers and type messages quickly,
accurately and comfortably. Removing the need for the traditional
multi-tap phone approach, SureType fundamentally changes the way people
think about typing on mobile phones.
The BlackBerry 7100x and
SureType support various languages including English, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Swedish.
"We are very pleased to add
the BlackBerry 7100x to our range of O2 mobile devices," said Hugh
Griffiths, Head of Mobile Data Products and Services, O2. "It's clear that
this device will attract a whole new audience to the BlackBerry platform
and demonstrates the very latest technology for both new and established
users alike."
"The unique functionality
of this all-in-one device can cover a multitude of business and personal
functions. By combining exceptional phone, email, messaging and browsing
capabilities with an extremely effective keyboard and a large, vibrant,
color screen, this device is ideal for customers that prefer the look and
feel of a phone but want to extend the use of their handset to include
email, web browsing and messaging services," concludes Griffiths.
"The BlackBerry 7100x is a
significant breakthrough for customers that want advanced phone, messaging
and data capabilities in a sleek new design," said Mark Guibert, Vice
President, Corporate Marketing at RIM. "The new SureType keyboard
technology is an amazing innovation that offers a significant improvement
over traditional phone keypads and the BlackBerry 7100x is a very
attractive choice for customers looking to upgrade their existing phone."
The BlackBerry 7100x weighs
120g and has a battery life (using the standard battery) of over four
hours talk time and over eight days standby. A hands-free earpiece, USB
cable and standard holster are included. Additional accessories such as
holsters and car chargers will also be available and the BlackBerry 7100x
supports Bluetooth headset and car-kit profiles.
For individuals, BlackBerry
Internet Service(TM) allows users to integrate their new BlackBerry
handset with up to ten business or personal Internet-based email accounts
(including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and many popular ISP email
accounts) without the need for a special server or IT support. It takes
just a few steps by the user to get up and running.
For corporate users, the
BlackBerry 7100x can connect to BlackBerry Enterprise Server(TM),
supporting secure, wireless email, calendar appointments and other
corporate data. The BlackBerry 7100x supports the full functionality of
the recently introduced BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0. |
