Blackberry is a pocket-sized wireless solution giving you easy access to your e-mail, company Intranet and the Internet. It's always connected (subject to network coverage). Your e-mails will find you automatically (again, subject to network coverage) - using 'push' technology. This means that you don't have to do anything to get your emails - they are automatically delivered to your handset (subject to network coverage).

Voice
A Built-in, high-quality phone is included with the 7100t, 7290 and 8700g BlackBerry handhelds. All phones are Bluetooth compatible allowing you to connect to headsets while driving. There are all the usual features you expect from mobiles, such as call waiting, call forwarding and access to all value added services like Group Conferencing and Trafficline.
Text Messaging
You can send and receive short text messages using your BlackBerry. You can quickly exchange messages with other Blackberry's - or any mobile using your BlackBerry's PC style keyboard. Manage all of your important messages and information from the palm of your hand.
Wireless calendar
Many people rely heavily on a handheld organiser to plan their day and their work. Calendar entries can change rapidly, causing discrepancies between your desktop calendar and your handheld device, with wireless calendar, your events are synchronised automatically - keeping you desktop and your handheld calendar perfectly synchronised. You are also able to:
Accept or decline meetings
Send meeting requests
Invite meeting attendees
View your up-to-date calendar on your desktop and on your handheld.
You can now have a constantly updated handheld calendar. Wireless calendar is not available with BlackBerry Desktop Redirector (see below).
Email
You can send, receive, forward and reply to messages while your on the go. BlackBerry integrates with your business email, providing you with a wireless extension of your Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. You can do this in one of two ways....
BlackBerry Enterprise Server - server software that integrates with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino and provides enterprise users and IT departments with additional features including: corporate data access, wireless calendar synchronisation, Triple DES security, simplified management and centralized control.
BlackBerry Desktop Redirector - set up your business e-mail account to work with your BlackBerry handheld. Redirector works with Microsoft Exchange email and only needs your PC to be connected to your email system for you to get your business e-mail. No server software is needed.
View Attachments
BlackBerry lets you open and view email attachments on your BlackBerry handheld. Files such as:
Microsoft Word
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft PowerPoint
Corel WordPerfect
Adobe PDF
ASCII documents
You can control how much information you receive; request the table of contents of a document and go directly to the section you're interested in or view the full content of the document. The attachment opening service integrates with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and uses the same encryption you receive with email, so you can feel confident sending and receiving documents.
Wireless email synchronisation
All the emails that you've read, sent, deleted or filed will show on both your BlackBerry handheld and your PC. It uses over-the-air technology, so there's no need to manually synchronise email activity.
