The
latest BlackBerry handheld is better than ever with a thinner
profile, a huge screen, a more powerful processor, EDGE data
support, and more. The BlackBerry 8700g, an integrated phone,
email client (with support for corporate email servers),
organizer, and web browser is the ultimate weapon for mobile
professionals.
Design - Design-wise, the
BlackBerry 8700g is a nice upgrade from BlackBerry devices of
the past. Yes, the same handy trackwheel is present on the right
side, and yes, you'll still find a full QWERTY keypad.
This handheld is thinner and lighter,
however, and the screen is bigger and brighter than ever; the
high resolution 320 x 240 LCD display supports over 65,000
colors. Plus, intelligent light sensing technology automatically
optimizes screen lighting levels for indoor and outdoor viewing.
The BlackBerry 8700g also features large, dedicated Send and End
keys for easier call management.
The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too, but it's
been updated with a new look. Plus, a powerful Intel XScale
processor, 64 MB flash memory, and 16 MB SDRAM combine to
deliver a dynamic, highly responsive experience when viewing
attachments and graphics, browsing the web, and running
applications. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that
can be used with the included headset, and a removable
lithium-ion battery is housed in the rear of the unit.
Calling Features - Many of the calling capabilities folks
have come to expect in a wireless phone are present, but the
BlackBerry 8700g ups the ante with MP3 ring tones. Plus, the
built-in speakerphone offers hands-free calling and convenient
conference calls.
The unit's Bluetooth capability (version 2.0) means you can use
a wireless headset with the phone for handsfree calling. A
vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book
that is limited only by the unit's 64 MB of internal memory, are
also included. The BlackBerry 8700g is a quad band phone
designed for global roaming in 170 countries for voice and 90
countries for data.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools - The BlackBerry 8700g
delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With
BlackBerry Internet Service, you can receive emails
instantaneously from up to 10 of your existing email accounts.
Or, if your company already has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server,
you can choose a BlackBerry Enterprise Server Plan to access
your corporate email.
With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your
email, as BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and
continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to
be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also
built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
WordPerfect, and PDF formats).
Because the BlackBerry 8700g is fast, and because it supports
EDGE high speed data networks, users can take advantage
enterprise applications that are wirelessly enabled by the
BlackBerry platform, such as sales force automation, field
service automation, network and systems management, and more.
If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed,
you can also take advantage of the power of wireless calendar
synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly
and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry
handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting
requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized
instantaneously with your desktop.
Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on
your BlackBerry 8700g. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise
Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars
and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry
Desktop Software.
Use the BlackBerry 8700g handheld's Web browser to access the
Internet from the palm of your hand. Browse Web sites, get
up-to-date stock quotes, read the latest news, check weather
reports and more. Wireless text messaging and multimedia
messaging (MMS) is also supported by the BlackBerry 8700g.
The BlackBerry 8700g ships with a number of tools, including a
calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The
handheld's software is based on the Java platform, meaning
Java-compatible games and applications can be added to the
device.
