RIM BLACKBERRY 7230(T-Mobile)
Palm Phone
Blackberry 7230, offered by T-Mobile in the United States combines a GSM/GPRS world phone, a PDA, and wireless e-mail capabilities in a slim, 4.8-ounce unit that doesn’t require an ear bud to talk on. The high-resolution, 240×160-pixel color display supports 65,000 colors and is the same width but a shorter length than the 957’s screen. , the screen is readable and is made for viewing in direct sunlight. As for the keys, they’re slightly bigger and more raised than the 957’s, making them more tactile. The 7230’s minikeyboard is among the best available to date and certainly superior to the ones found on Handspring’s Treo models.
RIM Blackberry 7230 (T-Mobile) features a healthy 16MB of internal flash memory and 2MB of SRAM. BlackBerrys are known for their e-mail prowess, and the 7230, which supports world roaming (GSM 900/1800/1900; GPRS) with the appropriate SIM card, worked well in this department and easily synced with Microsoft Outlook on our desktop computer. Lotus Notes is also supported.
If you don’t work for a company that has BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed on its servers, you can opt for BlackBerry Web Client, which is included in the T-Mobile package and allows you to have e-mail messages wirelessly forwarded to your 7230 from up to 10 POP3 e-mail accounts. One-handed dialing: We like the overlay of numeric keys on the QWERTY keyboard.
The enterprise version offers real-time e-mail delivery and wireless calendar syncing the e-mail pushed to the 7230 by Web Client has about a 15-minute delay. And Web Client now offers some wireless syncing; if you delete e-mail on the 7230, it will also be deleted on your desktop. Previously, this feature was available to corporate customers only.
Other core electronic organizer applications include a task manager, a memo pad, a calculator, and an alarm. The Brick Breaker game comes preinstalled, and you can add third-party applications just like you would with a Palm or a Pocket PC.
Variety of e-mail attachments–most importantly, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, as well as Adobe PDF–and view them on the device. However you can’t edit a Word or Excel file, save it, and send it back to a colleague. This is a read-only situation.
The 7230 is lacking in the multimedia department, but that’s not a sin, especially since this is a business-oriented device. However, in an ideal world, we would like to have seen a speakerphone and Bluetooth support for wireless headsets.
RIM BlackBerry 7230 display is designed to use the backlight sparingly; you’ll need to activate it in only a dimly lit environment or at night. As a result, you can expect decent battery life that’s on a par with that of the most energy-efficient smart phones currently available. RIM (Research in motion) says you can get up to four hours of talk time and 10 days of standby time.
