Orange Slovensko and Research In Motion (RIM) announced last week the launch of BlackBerry brand in Slovakia. BlackBerry enables wireless access to email, phone, Internet, text messaging, organizer and corporate data applications from a single device with advanced security features and exceptional ease-of-use.

Orange Slovensko will be offering the BlackBerry 8700f, a powerful quad-band handset that operates on the Orange Slovensko GSM/GPRS/EDGE network and delivers fast performance for web browsing and other mobile applications. The BlackBerry 8700f includes a full QWERTY keyboard that allows fast, easy and accurate typing and dialing. In addition, it provides a bright, high resolution LCD screen that supports more than 65,000 colors and delivers vivid graphics. Further more, the BlackBerry 8700f incorporates an intelligent light-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the screen and keyboard lighting to optimize viewing in outdoor, indoor and dark environments. It also includes premium phone features such as 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.

As usual, corporate customers benefit from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software which 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 manage up to ten corporate and personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
