Cingular Introduces New Quad-Band BlackBerry 7100g Breakthrough
Device Looks Like Traditional Handset But Offers Popular BlackBerry
Features ATLANTA and WATERLOO, Ontario, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ --
Business customers who prefer the look and feel of a phone for
their primary wireless device now have a handset on which they can
access their corporate and personal e-mail and organizer
information with today's introduction of the BlackBerry 7100g(TM)
from Cingular Wireless. The BlackBerry 7100g provides the look and
feel of a sleek handset while incorporating a quad-band GSM(TM)
"world phone" and retaining the powerful wireless e-mail, browser
and data capabilities enabled by the BlackBerry(R) platform. The
BlackBerry 7100g was developed and manufactured by Research In
Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM) (TSX: RIM). The BlackBerry 7100g
features a brilliant and large high-resolution color LCD display
and RIM's SureType(TM) keyboard technology. SureType effectively
converges a telephone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit within
the size constraints of a traditional mobile phone, while ensuring
dialing and typing remain quick and easy. It also includes
Bluetooth(R) support for use with Bluetooth headsets and car kits
for a flexible handsfree phone experience, as well as a
speakerphone for impromptu conference calls. The BlackBerry 7100g
from Cingular also supports all the latest features of the new
BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0(TM). The BlackBerry 7100g uses
Cingular's ALLOVER(SM) network, the largest digital voice and data
network in the country. This business phone's quad- band
(850/900/1800/1900) design gives Cingular customers the ability to
stay connected when abroad in more than 170 countries for voice
communications and over 75 countries when accessing e-mail,
calendaring and other data applications. "The introduction of the
BlackBerry 7100g opens up the `BlackBerry experience' to a much
wider business audience that considers voice as their primary
wireless application but also desires the robust data features that
BlackBerry provides," said Michael Woodward, executive director,
mobile professional solutions, for Cingular Wireless. "Cingular
Wireless is the leading BlackBerry provider and the addition of
this breakthrough solution further strengthens our portfolio of
BlackBerry products." "The BlackBerry 7100g and its innovative
SureType keyboard technology delivers a robust phone and messaging
experience in an amazingly compact and comfortable design," said
Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In
Motion. "We are pleased to build upon our long-standing
relationship with Cingular Wireless and expand the reach of
BlackBerry to an even broader range of customers with the
introduction of the BlackBerry 7100g." Cingular Wireless customers
can purchase the BlackBerry 7100g through their Cingular Business
Markets Group sales account team or online (after February 14) at
