Recycle BlackBerry 7100x

For years the BlackBerry handheld device has been the weapon of choice for the successful executive. Its creators, Research in Motion (RIM), stole a march over its competitors by being the first out with push email (comes in automatically) and that is why when it comes to making the maximum use out of these devices, it is always best to think, must recycle BlackBerry 7100x.

This particular model first hit the UK streets in early 2005 and it was linked with major phone provider 02.

And the BlackBerry 7100x was most definitely targeted at the business market. At the time of its launch, RIM opined: “The new design is aimed at active mobile professionals who need to manage their work wherever they are…as well as keep in touch with family and friends, all through one device.”

The BlackBerry 7100x featured the usual goodies, including advanced phone, messaging, organizer and browsing capabilities. It came with a large and bright, high resolution colour screen and incorporated an integrated speakerphone for conference calls, Bluetooth support for wireless headsets and car-kits, and a quad-band radio for international roaming. It also came equipped with RIM’s SureType keyboard technology that converged a phone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard to fit within the size constraints of a traditional 'candy bar' phone design.  

The BlackBerry 7100x weighed in at 120g and enjoyed a battery life of four hours talk time (or not that many conference calls). A hands-free earpiece, USB cable and standard holster were included in the box.

“The BlackBerry 7100x is a significant breakthrough for customers that want advanced phone, messaging and data capabilities in a sleek new design,” said a RIM spokesperson at the time. “The new SureType keyboard technology is an amazing innovation that offers a significant improvement over traditional phone keypads and the BlackBerry 7100x is a very attractive choice for customers looking to upgrade their existing phone.”

02 were equally enthusiastic, saying at the time of the launch:
“We are very pleased to add the BlackBerry 7100x to our range of O2 mobile devices. It’s clear that this device will attract a whole new audience to the BlackBerry platform and demonstrates the very latest technology for both new and established users alike.

“The unique functionality of this all-in-one device can cover a multitude of business and personal functions. By combining exceptional phone, email, messaging and browsing capabilities with an extremely effective keyboard and a large, vibrant, color screen, this device is ideal for customers that prefer the look and feel of a phone but want to extend the use of their handset to include email, web browsing and messaging services.”
