Batelco, Emitac Mobile Solutions (EMS) and Research In Motion (RIM) announced earlier this week the first launch of BlackBerry in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The BlackBerry solution will be available immediately in Batelco shops and for corporate customers through Batelco account managers.

The first BlackBerry
handset to be launched in the Kingdom of Bahrain is the BlackBerry 8700g. The BlackBerry 8700g is a quad-band handset that will operate on Batelco's GSM/GPRS network and delivers fast performance for web browsing and other mobile applications. In addition, the BlackBerry 8700g provides a bright, high resolution LCD screen that supports more than 65,000 colors and delivers vivid graphics. It incorporates an intelligent light-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the screen and keyboard lighting to provide optimized viewing in outdoor, indoor and dark environments. The BlackBerry 8700g also includes premium phone features including dedicated phone keys, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dialing, call forwarding, speakerphone and Bluetooth support for hands-free use with car kits and wireless headsets.

For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.

For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service allows users to access up to ten corporate and personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
