Debut
The New BlackBerry
7100t
eAccess
has been deluged with calls about the new
7100t since
the press started reviewing the product on September 8th. Hailed as
the "Treo Killer", the new device packs all the familiar features of
a traditional BlackBerry into a more convenient phone form factor.
The redesigned keyboard is just 5 keys wide making the keys larger
and easier to hit. Since there are two letters per key, RIM
designed and ingenious SureType system that with just a few
characters of a word will predict the word you are looking for and
fill it in. The more you use the device, the more familiar SureType
gets with your vocabulary. Some other highlights of the newest
edition to the BlackBerry family are:
 |
32MB flash memory, 4MB SRAM
|
 |
Integrated speaker / microphone and hands-free speakerphone
|
 |
Bluetooth hands-free headset and car kit support
|
 |
High resolution backlit LCD display supporting over 65,000
colors
|
 |
Battery life: 8 days standby / 4hrs talk time
|
 |
Quad-band radio 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz GSM/GPRS
|
 |
Polyphonic ringtones
|
 |
BlackBerry Enterprise Server supported - Web client support for
POP3, IMAP and Web mail accounts
|
Of course the best
part about this device is the price.
eAccess expects to
launch this device at $249 with a $100 mail in rebate from T-Mobile
giving you a net cost of just $149! To learn more about the 7100t
please visit our 7100t page
HERE. If
you wish to be put on our waiting list to get one of the first units
shipped, just complete the form at the bottom of this page and we
will automatically notify you when we have confirmation that our
first shipment is on the way (approximately Oct 1st). Don't forget
that if you are looking for a low cost BlackBerry with a full
keyboard, we still have some of the
6710 models
at $0 with activation while supplies last.

BES v4.0
- Coming Soon
If you haven't already heard, BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.0 for
Exchange, Domino and yes GroupWise is just around the corner. Next
month we will be running down the migration and upgrade "best
practices" for existing v3.6 and v2.2 Exchange and Domino server
again. This month I thought we would reiterate the great feature
set expected with this new release so you know what is on the
horizon. Expected feature enhancements with v4.0 for all platforms
include:
 |
New
wireless "cradle-less" provisioning functionality
|
 |
Two-way wireless synchronization of email and organizer
information (No more desktop foot print needed)
|
 |
Increased attachment support, especially for graphic image files
|
 |
Wireless application provisioning
|
 |
Enriched browsing experience to include capabilities for java
applets
|
 |
A
great deal of Admin console feature enhancements
|
 |
Support for AES encryption in addition to 3DES
|
 |
Enhanced extensibility using JavaScript, XML and enhanced form
submission
|
Version 4.0 will definitely be out before the end of the year and
probably sooner. If you have a BES presently are not participating
in the RIM SUP or T-Support program,
contact us so you can get v4.0 at the lowest cost possible by
participating in these cost saving programs.
