14 DAY TRIAL // Optus and Research In Motion (RIM) introduced the BlackBerry 7130g, a sleek and stylish BlackBerry device in a traditional phone form factor, and announced enhancements to Optus' offering of the BlackBerry Internet Service in Australia.
Available through Optus distribution channels at the end of June, the BlackBerry 7130g features an optimized device platform with an Intel processor and 64 MB of flash memory.
Stuart Tucker, Marketing Director Optus Small & Medium Business, said: ?We are confident that our Optus customers will be impressed by the new BlackBerry 7130g and we look forward to providing them with this powerful, all-in-one mobile solution."
The BlackBerry 7130g features a high-resolution color LCD screen and includes intelligent light sensing technology which automatically optimizes screen and keyboard lighting levels for viewing in indoor, outdoor and dark environments. The handset incorporates RIM's SureType keyboard technology, which merges a phone keypad with a familiar QWERTY keyboard to enable a narrower design.
Operating on Optus' GPRS national network, the new quad-band BlackBerry 7130g also features a speakerphone, dedicated 'send', 'end' and 'mute' phone keys, and supports MP3 ringtones, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial, call forwarding, and Bluetooth for wireless hands-free accessories and car kits.
The launch of BlackBerry 7130g accompanies the introduction of a major upgrade of the BlackBerry Internet Service offering for individuals and small businesses.
The latest offering of BlackBerry Internet Service, which allows users to access up to 10 corporate and personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device, provides users with enhanced wireless synchronization of read, sent and deleted items from the user's BlackBerry handset to their email account.
In addition, BlackBerry Internet Service supports the viewing of popular email attachment formats including JPEG, BMP, TIFF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF.
