BlackBerry fans will be happy to welcome the RIM BlackBerry 7230 handheld ($400 plus monthly service charges), the first RIM model with a color display and 900-, 1,800-, and 1,900-MHz tri-band GSM/GPRS coverage for international use.

You can use the 7230 for voice calls, Internet browsing and enterprise e-mail, and two-way SMS. Rudimentary contact, task, and scheduling tools keep the 7230 out of the running as a PDA, but that's the idea: The 7230 is being marketed as a data viewer and a wide-coverage phone for mobile professionals.


The 4.8-ounce, 4.4- by 2.9- by 0.8-inch (HWD) unit comes with a USB syncing cable, travel charger, desktop stand, swivel holster, and headset. The rechargeable battery is rated for up to 4 hours of talk time and 10 days standby. T-Mobile sells the 7230 with one of two data plans: $29.99 per month for unlimited data added on to most T-Mobile voice plans or $39.99 a month for unlimited data and 300 text messages, with voice calls billed at 20 cents per minute.

The 64K color display is highly readable. It shows three rows of six application icons in the home screen, plus status and message areas. The display and the QWERTY keyboard are backlit. Like earlier RIM products, the 7230 uses a combination jog dial and back button for interface navigation.

RIM's first voice phone, the BlackBerry 5810, required a headset for voice calls, but the 7230 has an integrated microphone and speaker. Voice quality is very clear, but there is no speakerphone function.

The 7230 can also serve as a BlackBerry Enterprise Server client for e-mail from Outlook Exchange or Lotus Domino systems and for Internet mail, with up to ten Internet e-mail accounts configured via a wizard.

The 7230's browser supports both XML rendering and Java provisioning. We were able to download the complex PC Magazine home page and see most elementsno mean featbut the wait time of about a minute (with four bars of signal strength) was too long.

The 7230 is positioned to compete with the Handspring Treo Communicator 270/300 models. All are fine phones (though the Treos have a speakerphone). As PDAs, the Treos are better, with greater access to third-party software. The BlackBerry 7230, however, is hands-down better for enterprise e-mail. RIM and T-Mobile have a winner in the BlackBerry 7230 handheld.
