Blackberry 8700c


The RIM Blackberry 8700c is the answer for the mobile professional who needs to stay connected with clients and the office. The BlackBerry 8700c doesn’t disappoint. The smart phone can sync with your company’s BlackBerry, Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise server to deliver corporate e-mail in real time. The BlackBerry 8700c also supports up to 10 personal/business POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail accounts with the smartphone checking for new messages every 15 minutes. You can view Excel documents as spreadsheets along with Word, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats as email attachments.

There’s a calendar, a task list, a memo pad, and a calculator. Download Quotestream Wireless to receive wireless-streaming stock quotes right on your 8700c. AskMeNow gives you quick access to weather, sports scores, and flight information. AskAnything sends the answer to almost any question you can think of to your email inbox. The BlackBerry 8700c also supports text and multimedia messaging, as well as instant messaging. However, the latter is limited to a BlackBerry Messenger, so you can communicate only with those who use Blackberry’s proprietary client.

The popular BlackBerry user interface is here. The trackwheel is on the right side just where you expect it and the keyboard is 35-key QWERTY. The LCD screen is a big 2.5″ with a crystal clear 320 x 240 resolution. Both keyboard and screen have light sensing technology and adapt quickly to keep everything easy to see in all conditions.

The 8700c has more horsepower than the 7290. An Intel processor-a 312MHz PXA901- and Cingular EDGE speed up web browsing, attachment viewing, and download times. The BlackBerry 8700c Wireless Handheld™ is not feature rich on the entertainment side so you would have to look elsewhere for music and video. You can, however, tether your 8700c to your laptop and use it as a wireless modem.

Cellular wireless phone quality is more dependent on the quirkiness of your location than cell phone handset technology. Cingular Wireless GSM is available everywhere in the USA and the 8700c Quad Band frequencies will keep your handheld communicating in 120 other countries too. On the phone side you get a speakerphone and conveniently placed Call and End buttons.

The BlackBerry 8700c puts your business in your pocket by combining all of your office needs, from email to messaging, into a complete lightweight package with a full QWERTY keyboard. So whether you’re making international calls to your home office with quad-band GSMTM, sending email and instant messages to your family, or just planning your weekly schedule, you’ll have every communications feature you need in the palm of your hand with the 8700c.
