Blackberry 7130c

Like the BlackBerry 7100g, the BlackBerry 7130c is far more phone-like, and RIM’s engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset’s slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, enables the BlackBerry 7130c handset’s diminutive size. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.

The BlackBerry 7130c sports a large 240 x 260 screen that displays over 65,000 colors — plenty of real estate to view your emails, Web browser content, messaging sessions and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel is located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through menus and emails. A speakerphone is housed in the top portion of the rear of the handset, just above the removable battery door. There’s also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset.

With the BlackBerry 7130c™, you enjoy the total integrated wireless experience in a sleek design. The BlackBerry 7130c puts top-of-the-line features, such as, speakerphone, Bluetooth technology, text messaging and polyphonic ringtones into a stylish handset. Browsing the web, viewing attachments and running applications is faster than ever, thanks to a variety of technologies, including an Intel XScale® processor. You can compose messages quickly with SureType™ technology, which combines a traditional phone keypad and familiar QWERTY keyboard for a familiar dialing and typing experience. You’ll be wowed by the sleek design, fast performance, light sensing screen and more. Read the Blackberry 7290 review.
