Compatible
with T-Mobile cell phone service, RIM's Java-based BlackBerry
6230 is a business-oriented phone, organizer, and communication
device that works like a normal phone but also happens to give
you e-mail access, SMS text messaging, and Web browsing along
with everything you'd expect from an organizer--all in a single
wireless handheld that supports international GSM/GPRS
roaming.
The 6230 uses a 160 x 100 pixel monochrome
screen and comes with an easily attaching headset for
convenient, hands-free conversation so you can read, type, or
retrieve information while you talk.
The 6230 offers tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS networking
and operates on 1900 MHz in the US and Canada (900/1800 MHz in
Europe/Asia Pacific). GSM/GPRS networks grant
"always-on" operation and let you maintain a virtual
connection to the wireless network for data services.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a packet-switched network
designed for wide-area data communication, while GSM offers
high-quality mobile voice services.
BlackBerry
Calling Features
Hold the 6230 to your ear like a regular phone so you can answer
it quickly, or use the included headset to talk while you read
and type on the unit's backlit QWERTY keyboard.
The 6230 fits comfortably in your hand as you send and receive
calls worldwide. Its PDA format provides a nifty, thumb-operated
track wheel for extra-easy dialing and menu navigation. The 6230
also includes an integrated earpiece and microphone, call-alert
options (tone, vibrate, onscreen or LED indicator), and
selectable font sizes.
Messaging
and Internet
The 6230's embedded RIM wireless modem offers a variety of
wireless Internet services, including e-mail with integrated
attachment viewing. You can integrate the unit's e-mail with
existing business e-mail accounts, existing personal e-mail
accounts, or with a new handheld e-mail account. SMS capability
lets you send and receive short text messages independent of an
e-mail inbox, and you can use the phone's keyboard to quickly
exchange messages with other SMS-enabled devices.
View e-mail attachments in variety of file formats (including
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF)
and fire up the included Internet browser to visit Web sites,
retrieve up-to-date stock quotes, read news, and check weather
forecasts. Use the keyboard to punch in URLs, then navigate Web
pages and follow links using the click-and-scroll trackwheel.
Organizer
The 6230's BlackBerry Desktop software (3.6 or higher) works
with BlackBerry Enterprise Servers, which are supported by
Version 2.1 or higher for Microsoft Exchange or Version 2.0 with
Service Pack 2 or higher for Lotus Domino. It also supports Java
development platform based on open standards.
When you're using the handheld, a browser, and
software-development tools, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server's
Mobile Data Service (MDS) grants always-on/push-based access to
enterprise applications and information. Security features
include password protection and keyboard lock.
Maximize your productivity through easy access to your calendar
(manage and schedule appointments while you're on the go),
address book (access all your important contact information
wherever you are), and task list (add, edit, and delete tasks
and mark tasks as complete). MemoPad lets you compose, edit, and
delete important notes and memos, while a calculator lets you
perform basic mathematical operations and conversions.
