Airtel, RIM to Launch BlackBerry in India
By: Sharon Khare   |   Sep 22, 2006

Airtel and Research In Motion (RIM) have announced plans to launch the BlackBerry 7130g handset in India later this month.


Working on EDGE and GPRS networks, the quad-band BlackBerry 7130g will have 64 MB flash memory and will allow users to stay connected to both work and life with support for push-based email, phone, text messaging, browser, organizer and other mobile applications.

"We have always believed in bringing more choices to suit our customers' requirements. This quad-band EDGE-enabled BlackBerry 7130g will undoubtedly appeal to Airtel's customers who seek a more phone-centric device that brings the BlackBerry advantage," Sanjay Kapoor, Joint President, Mobile Services, Bharti Airtel Limited said.

The BlackBerry 7130g includes premium phone features including dedicated phone keys, smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial, call forwarding, speakerphone and Bluetooth support for wireless headsets and car kits. The handset's bright and high-resolution color LCD screen features an intelligent light sensing technology that automatically adjusts both the display and keyboard lighting levels to provide an optimised view in outdoor, indoor and dark environments.

In addition, the BlackBerry 7130g incorporates RIM's SureType keyboard technology, which merges a phone keypad with a familiar QWERTY keyboard to enable a narrower design while allowing users to type quickly and accurately.

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

"The new BlackBerry 7130g is an exciting addition to the BlackBerry portfolio in India," said Norm Lo, Vice President of Asia Pacific at RIM. "Together with the comprehensive and powerful BlackBerry platform, the BlackBerry 7130g delivers an all-in-one solution with a unique user experience."

Independent software vendors (ISVs) have developed a variety of applications for BlackBerry in areas including entertainment, games, ring tones and personalization.
