NII Holdings and Research In Motion announced the availability of the BlackBerry 7100i for Nextel Mexico and Nextel Peru customers, combining Nextel's leading services (DirectConnect, International Direct Connect, Digital Cellular telephony and SMS Text Messaging) with the popular and proven features of BlackBerry. The BlackBerry 7100i supports easy wireless connectivity to 'push-based' e-mail, phone, long-range digital walkie-talkie, text messaging, Internet browsing, organizer and corporate data applications in a stylish phone form factor for mobile users.

The BlackBerry 7100i has a large high-resolution color screen (240 x 260 pixels) that displays crisp images with a sizeable workspace for composing and reading messages as well as viewing web pages and attachments. It also features 64 MB of flash memory and includes a built-in speakerphone, GPS support for location-based applications and services, dedicated send and end keys and Bluetooth support for wireless headsets and car kits.

The BlackBerry 7100i also incorporates RIM's SureType keyboard technology, which effectively converges a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to allow for a narrower wireless phone form factor. Through an integrated keyboard and software system, SureType gives users the familiar look and feel of a phone and allows them to dial phone numbers and type messages quickly, accurately and comfortably.

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 e-mail and other corporate data.

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