“The BlackBerry 8700f utilizes the Intel XScale® architecture and the Intel PX901 cellular processor to enable exceptional EDGE communications capabilities, as well as industry-leading application performance, without compromising battery life requirements. The Intel XScale architecture provides users of the BlackBerry 8700f with the increased processing power needed to enjoy a rich user experience while running a variety of applications,” said Bernadette Andrietti, Country Manager, Intel France

The breadth of the high-speed mobile network from Orange:

We are very pleased to be working with TSTT to bring BlackBerry to this important regional market,” said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. “BlackBerry will enable greater mobility and productivity for government, corporate and individual customers in Trinidad and Tobago.”

The BlackBerry 7290 and BlackBerry 7100g are both quad band mobile devices (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz) that support wireless access to email, phone, organizer, Internet browser, text messaging and corporate data applications. Both devices incorporate Bluetooth® support for hands-free calls with a wireless headset or car kit.  The BlackBerry 7290 features a full QWERTY keyboard while the BlackBerry 7100g features the popular SureType™ keyboard technology that effectively converges a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit elegantly within the size constraints of a traditional ‘candy bar’ phone design.  Both devices also enable intuitive navigation for easy handling on the go.

“Being the first to bring BlackBerry to Trinidad and Tobago solidifies TSTT’s position as the industry leader for communications technology in the country. Putting the best-in-class services and technology of BlackBerry into the hands of mobile professionals will further fuel T&T’s strong economic performance and unearth new commercial opportunities” said Espinal.

For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ tightly integrates with Microsoft® Exchange, IBM Lotus® Domino™ and Novell GroupWise™ enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to e-mail and other corporate data.

For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service™ allows users to access up to ten corporate and/or personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
