The 7230 follows the
standard BlackBerry form factor-- a large 240 x 160 color screen
placed above a QWERTY thumbpad. The screen offers plenty of real
estate to view your emails, web browser content, messaging sessions
and attachments. The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too,
which makes it easy to navigate the phone's functions. A jog dial is
located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through
menus and emails. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that
can be used with the included headset. A removable lithium-ion
battery is housed in the rear of the unit, and there is a USB port
for data connectivity.
Calling Features
Many of the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a
wireless phone are present in the 7230. A vibrating alert and speed
dial capability are present, as is a contacts list/address book that
is limited only by the unit's 16 MB of internal memory.
Messaging,
Internet and Tools
The 7230 delivers the legendary BlackBerry email experience. With
T-Mobile's BlackBerry Internet Service plans, you can receive emails
instantaneously from personal and corporate accounts. With
BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your email.
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).
If your company has
BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of
the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events
are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop
calendar and BlackBerry device calendar are synchronized. All your
Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously
synchronized with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new
attendees and more, all on your 7230. Users without Enterprise
Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and
contacts using BlackBerry Desktop software and the device's USB data
port.
Use the 7230'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 is also supported
by the 7230.
The 7230 ships with a
number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter, and a
to-do list. The unit's software is based on the Java platform,
meaning Java-compatible games and applications can be added to the
device.
