    BlackBerry devices have been well known for their business use, with excellent email capabilities thanks to a full on-board QWERTY keyboard. Read more

    • Push email convenience, Aesthetically pleasing, Display, Battery life, Lightweight
    • SureType keyboard does take some time to master, less than perfect design for left handers, touch screen and stylus omission diminishes PDA appeal

The Blackberry mobile phones have made their mark in the market and continue it with the 7130g, one of the slimmer Smartphone models. Generally business class people are interested in the Blackberry phone models due to their many features. However, this model has captured even the common man or woman’s attention. With a measurement of 56 x 115 x 18mm, it weighs just 120g, and features an eye-catching screen of 2.4” and 240 x 260 pixel screen resolution and well-spaced QWERTY keypad with 20 keys and the customary Blackberry roller wheel near the End button on the right. You can easily scroll through lengthy emails or messages, unlike other mobiles where you need to manually press the Down arrow. This sophisticated model would make you proud among your colleagues and friends with many features and preloaded software. You have the option to customize the home screen so that you have the icons ready to choose from, or have the conventional screen with the list of emails.

One of the best features is that you need not download Google Earth, MS Office applications, Acrobat Reader, and Yahoo & MSN instant messengers, as it is already loaded on this mobile phone. If you are a technology lover, you will surely love to possess this mobile phone, as it is a technology treasure. If your technology people don’t allow you to copy data to a CD, you can transfer it using GSM or 3G, even when the file transfer mode is disabled in Bluetooth v2.0. The Blackberry browser is as convenient for browsing WAP sites as WAP itself. Moreover, this mobile phone records the time of incoming mail and not the time of outgoing mail. With all these advantages, there are also a few drawbacks like charging the battery, which requires overnight time, poor battery indicator that does not show the battery’s level or the charging levels.
