Vodafone Italia and Research In Motion introduced the new BlackBerry 8707v in Italy. The BlackBerry 8707v brings the popular and proven BlackBerry wireless platform to the Vodafone UMTS network.

The BlackBerry 8707v operates on 2100 MHz UMTS networks and also includes quad-band support on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS networks. The device features 64 MB flash memory and supports attachment viewing of popular file formats including JPEG, BMP, TIFF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Corel WordPerfect and Adobe PDF. Its high resolution QVGA (320x240) LCD display supports more than 65,000 colors and it incorporates intelligent light sensing technology automatically that adjusts the display and keyboard brightness to optimize visibility in outdoor, indoor and dark environments.

The BlackBerry 8707v features a built-in speakerphone and Bluetooth support, dedicated "send," "end" and "mute" keys, as well as intuitive call management features (such as smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial and call forwarding).

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, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
