Abstract
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 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."
